Zell-und-Todtnau Articulated Locomotives in Germany
Class Details by Steve Llanso of Sweat House Media
Class 103 (Locobase 3255)
Data from Gustav Reder (Michael Reynolds, trans), The world of steam locomotives (New York: Putnam, 1974), pl 329; supplemented by SACM diagram UG Type 178 from Elsassische Maschinenbau AG from locomotive book supplied by Dany Machi at [

], last accessed 24 October 2006 -- the Z&T operated the 103 until 1955, when it was sold to the M.E.G. Stammbahn in Schwarzach. It was scrapped in 1960.
NB: the heating surface area in the diagram is calculated from the fire side. Water-side area would be 491 sq ft (45.6 sq m).
