Class Details by Steve Llanso of Sweat House Media

Class CF d'Interet Local (Locobase 11328)

Data from Charles Alfred Oppermann, Traite Complet des Chemins de Fer Economiques D' Interet Local (Paris: Imprimerie Pillet Fils Aine, 1873), pp.153-154.

In the melee that ensued after passage of the first French law to encourage development of rural, light-service railways, several locomotive builders offered examples of the kind of engine that suit the service.

Corpet was the successor to Anjubault.


Class unknown (Locobase 15576)

Data from diagram Loco: 10, Societe Alsacienne de Constructions Mecaniques from locomotive book supplied by Dany Machi up at [] as

Diagrammes des machines SACM construites a GRAFENSTADEN (October 2007).

Clearly related to the Midi 2-4-0s shown in Locobases 11361, 15574-15575, this design was just a bit bigger, had a slightly longer wheelbase, larger grate. Tweaks, really, on a basic pattern.
