Data from W H Maw and William Dredge, "Locomotives", Reports on the Vienna Universal Exhibition, Part II (London: George Eyre and William Spottiswoode, 1874), pp. 418-419.419; and "Locomotives at the Vienna Exhibition--No. IV", Engineering (27 June 1873), p. 467.Works numbers were 2997-2999, 3008, and 3031-3035 in 1873.
Maw and Dredge note that one of the locomotives displayed at the Vienna Exhibition was Borsig's 3,031st locomotive. The authors were quite taken with the level of workmanship in this locomotive, "...the brasswork and the coppersmiths' work, in particular, being of unusual excellence. The whole engine was distinguished by that attention to material finish which especially characterizes the productions of experienced builders."
Engineering commented that the boiler used a Belapaire firebox. It also praised the engine as "altogether ...on which will no doubt do good work wtih fast trains", but observed "the arrangement with outside frames and cranks undoubtedly leads to the employment of greater weight than would be necessary" for an inside-frame locomotive using a "crank pin fixed in the wheel bosses in the ordinary way."
NB: Heating surface areas in the specifications are given in the original as derived from the water-side diameter of the tubes.
