Data from A E Durrant, "Steam Locomotives of Eastern Europe"Works numbers were 2591-2600 in 1951.
Built late in the steam era, these Mikados offered relatively large heating surface area, capacious cylinders, and adhesion weight for a metre-gauge 2-8-2. A "bread-loaf" casing on the boiler top enclosed both the steam dome and the sandbox. Eight thin lines of piping ran down the sides to all of the drivers.
An unusual trailing truck assembly put the wheels inside a thick frame. which may have allowed more than usual lateral movement.
Together with the widely distributed "MacArthur" Mikados and Z-class 2-6-0 tanks, the Deltas formed the backbone of SPAP's motive power in the mid-1960s.
