Data from "Fast Passenger Engines for the Rajputana-Malwa Ry," The Locomotive Magazine, Vol XIV (15 May 1908), p. 86.
Described as "fine engines", the As served the mainline between Phulera Junction and Sujat Road, which had a ruling gradient of 1 in 150 (0.67%). These locomotives had inside plate frames with outside cylinders and motion and Belpaire boiler. They had proved "vey satisfactory both in hauling and steaming capacity." Loaded weight of the engine and tender together came to 54 tons 17 cwt (122,864 lb). A later batch was fitted with larger cylinders (15 1/2" x 22") and a larger tender (2,400 US gal.).
