several 2-2-2 Locomotives in Great_Britain


Class Details by Steve Llanso of Sweat House Media

Class Patentee (Locobase 666)

Stephenson's patent covered the addition of a trailing axle to carry a larger boiler and the elimination of the flange on the driving axle. These Patentees were widely distributed and came into their own as successful passenger engines. See the first German locomotive (the ADLER) and the first Belgian-built locomotive (LE BELGE), which was delivered in 1835 by Cockerill.
