Class Details by Steve Llanso of Sweat House Media

Class C16 (Locobase 4728)

Data from [link]. . See Indra Krishnamurti at [link] for building dates and numbers both of predecessor railways and the Indonesian State Railways.


Class C17 (Locobase 4729)

Data from [link] . See also TecBook reprint of Sachsische Maschinenfabrik Richard Hartmann: alle 1910 catalogue, p. 34, previewed in Google Books (last accessed 11 December 2010).

See Indra Krishnamurti at [link] for building dates and numbers both of predecessor railways and the Indonesian State Railways. The catalogue photograph clearly shows the outside plate frame and the evenly spaced drivers under the firebox and boiler.

The lone C23 delivered in 1908 seems to have been identical except for a slight decrease in weight to 51,115 lb.


Class C18 (Locobase 4730)

Data from [link]. . See Indra Krishnamurti at [link] for building dates and numbers both of predecessor railways and the Indonesian State Railways.
