Unspecified 0-4-2 Locomotives in Germany


Class Details by Steve Llanso of Sweat House Media

Class unknown (Locobase 11287)

Data from Ernest Taillard, Exposition Universelle de Paris de 1867-Chemins de Fer-Les Locomotives et le Materiel de Transport, 1ie Volume (Paris: Dunod, 1867), pp. 27-31.

As the driver diameter suggests, this was a mixed-traffic locomotive. According to Taillard, among other features was the lack of pumps for feeding water into the boiler; instead, the engine used two Krauss injectors, which were unequal to the task. The firebox was a coke-burner that had two stages, the exhaust was variable, and the two safety-balves were fixed, one on the dome and the other on the firebox.
