Class Details by Steve Llanso of Sweat House Media

Class 3 (Locobase 21275)

Data from Krupp im Dienst der Dampflokomotive (Essen, Germany: 1940), p 90. Works numbers were 1072-1076 in 1929.

A quintet of Moguls completed the seven-engine order from the TI that included a pair of six-coupled tanks (Locobase 21275). Like those locomotives, the 3s carried four tons of oil fuel in addition to the coal in the tender. The oil tank sat on the top edge of the back half of the tender
