Data from users.libero.it/allesandro.tuzza/fonti/sfr/1879sfrindice.htm (8 July 2004), an 1878 album of locomotives for the SFR reproduced by Allesandro Tuzza. (later cite: [], Tavola 38.) Works numbers were 716, 718.
Small six-coupled of relatively early vintage from Robert Stephenson. The steam dome was positioned just ahead of the middle axle and had a hemispherical cover. The distance between the first and second axles was about a foot greater than the distance between the second and third.
Locobase found an inconsistencies between the given values for the tube diameters, tube lengths, and for the evaporative heating surface area given as 82.2 sq m. The EHS value shown in Locobase's specs is composed of the firebox heating surface area given in the diagram and the tube heating surface area calculated from the stated tube length, external tube diameter, and count.

JF Cail 's locomotives supplied to the SFR in 1858 all used the same boiler and grate but had different roles. This trio (works 614-615 & 617) were the freight haulers and had more cylinder volume and smaller drivers and thus more power. See Locobase 6254 for the 2-4-0 mixed-passenger engines and 6260 for the 70" drivered locomotives.

Following the first pair of Koechlin locomotives by a couple of years, these (works #971-972) too had the small dome. Although they resembled the standard six-coupled that was built over a dozen years, these two locomotives had a smaller boiler.
See Locobase 6258 for a brief history of the SFR from its founding in 1860 as a merger of two Rome-based railways and later acquisitions.
Consolidations continued in 1865 with the union of the 337-mile SFR, the 618 km (384 miles) of the Societa delle Ferrovie Livornesi, and 169 km (105 miles) of the Societa per la Ferrovia Centrale Toscana. The two northernmost roads -- FlorencevPistoiavPisa line and the PisavLa SpeziavMassa -- were transferred to the Societa per le strade ferrate dell'Alta Italia in 1869.

Inside-cylinder six-coupleds with the characteristic gap between the first and second axles.

Works #59-62. Apparently a standard 6-coupled design because it is so close to the earlier Sharp, Stewart batch shown on Locobase 6273. Inside-cylinder six-coupleds with the characteristic gap between the first and second axles. One visible difference was a more utilitarian stack shape.

NIMN works #59-62 followed Hartmann's design (itself based on the earlier Sharp, Stewart batch; Locobase 6274, 6273, respectively) with very few changes.

Part of the stud of standard six-coupleds from this era on the SFR. See Locobase 6273-6275. There were tweaks, however, including a larger grate.

This pair of six-coupleds (Koechlin works #621-622) had splashers that hugged the upper arc of the drivers. A very small dome over the lead axle extended its steam pipes outside the jacket to the cylinder. As a result, the boiler looked much larger than others of similar power.
Three years later, Koechlin shipped 15 more (works #855-859, 867-876) with identical dimensions. One year later -- 1865 -- Grafenstaden delivered works #336-340, which followed the pattern exactly. In 1873, NIMN added 10 of its own (works #63-74) and, finally, in 1875, Alsacienne delivered its works 2484-2489 to the same design.

NMIN finished off the SFR's catalogue of six-coupleds with a design that was based on the standard 0-6-0. For some reason, this boiler had one more fire tube, which slightly enlarged the heating surface.
