Holland Railway 4-4-2 Locomotives in Netherlands

Class 701 (Locobase 10151)

Data from See also J T Bierman, "Three Years' Experience of the Superheated-Steam Locomotives", The Ingenieur, reproduced in Bulletin of the International Railway Congress Association, Volume 25, (1911), reference [621.134.3], p. 455 and "Ten-Wheeled Tank Engine for the Holland Railway," The Locomotive Magazine, Vol V (June 1900), p. 89. Sharp Stewart delivered 701-708 in 1898, 709-719 in 1899, and 720-724 in 1900. Holland's Werkspoor produced the last 31.

These were pretty hefty engines for a Dutch railway of the time and the driver size meant they were to haul their commuter trains at a pretty good clip. Many observers consider these to have been the best design in the fleet of the Hollandsche Ijzeren Spoorweg Maatschappij.

Note: Like most Continental railways, the HISM calculated its tube heating surface areas from their inside diameter. The tube heating surface areas in this entry's specs are calculated using outside tube diameters (i.e. from the water side). The fire side areas of tubes and flues added up to 73.1 sq m (786.87 sq ft), resulting in an evaporative heating surface area of 83.4 sq m (897.71 sq ft).

The first of the class -- 5501 -- was not scrapped until 1952.

Class 771 (Locobase 16115)

Locobase 10151 describes the large, successful class of Atlantic tanks delivered to the HIM beginning in 1898.

Note: Like most Continental railways, the HISM calculated its tube heating surface areas from their inside diameter. The tube heating surface areas in this entry's specs are calculated using outside tube diameters (i.e. from the water side). The fire side areas of tubes and flues added up to 68.78 sq m (740.37 sq ft), resulting in an evaporative heating surface area of 78.58 sq m (845.83 sq ft).

The first of the class -- 5501 -- was not scrapped until 1952.
