Tubize delivered 5 in 1908, Maffei 2 in 1912, and Tubize finished off the class with 3 in 1920.
Data from A E Durrant The Steam Locomotives of Eastern Europe (Newton Abbot:David & Charles, 1972). Works numbers were 1497-1499 and 1505-1506 in June 1935.
These were five of the 46 steam locomotives operated by the Thessaly Railways. Begun in 1882, the network came together in segments: From Volos, heading west then north 61 km (31 miles) to Larissa. The Volos line continued northwest from Velestinon northwest for 142 km (81 miles) to Kalampaka. Within this section the railway met the standard-gauge Athens-Larissa-Thessaloniki at Palaiofarsalos. This section had a maximum gradient of 3% between Velestinon and Aerinon.
