Class Details by Steve Llanso of Sweat House Media

Class unknown (Locobase 11285)

Data from Ernest Taillard, Exposition Universelle de Paris de 1867-Chemins de Fer-Les Locomotives et le Materiel de Transport, 1ie Volume (Paris: Dunod, 1867), pp. 6-9.

Exhibited at the Exposition, this design was meant to satisfy requirements that the locomotive conquer 1.8-2% grades and 350-metre radius curves with 190 tons (19 wagons of 10 tons each) at 30-35 km/h (18.6-21.7 mph). Both the cylinders and the valve gear were inside the frames and drove through a cranked middle axle.

Taillard commented that the engine showed itself equal to the best English machines. Well-built, sober in its lines. However, the author also comments that the locomotive's drivers are of a diameter that don't accord with the service demanded by heavy trains and that the railway would at some point replace them with 8-coupled locomotives.
