Class Details by Steve Llanso of Sweat House Media

Class 26 (Locobase 4989)

Data from dspace.dial.pipex.com/javatour/ambarawa/locos/DSM28.htm, a site for the Ambarawa Railway Museum maintained by Rob Dickinson.

See Indra Krishnamurti at [link] for building dates and numbers both of predecessor railways and the Indonesian State Railways. He gives the works numbers as 1630-1632 (1903) and 1711 (1904)..
