Southern Mahratta 4-6-0 Locomotives in India


Class Details by Steve Llanso of Sweat House Media

Class 145 (Locobase 10612)

Data from "New Passenger Locomotives, SMR ", The Locomotive Magazine, Vol XIII (15 March 1907), p. 45. Boiler pressure is an estimate.

This set of Ten-wheelers had Belpaire fireboxes, radial valve gear outside, a capped stack, dome over the leading coupled axle, inside bearings on the bogie, and a long cab roof. Their main service ran from Poona to the South of India through Bangalore.
