North Brabant German 4-6-0 Locomotives in Netherlands


Class Details by Steve Llanso of Sweat House Media

Class unknown (Locobase 2673)

Data from Albert H Bone, "Some Recent Designs of Locomotives for Service on Continental Railways", Cassier's Magazine, 1910, pp. 561-609. Works numbers were 5134-5139 in 1908.

Although limited at the time to 56 mph on the Boxtel (Netherlands)-Weser (on the Rhine), these engines later showed themselves capable of 68 mph. They had uncompromisingly cubic Belpaire fireboxes, elegant ram's-horn frames on the leading truck, lined splashers, and an overall dark blue paint scheme. The pistons drove on the first coupled axle.

Bone comments that they were designed haul 400-ton trains at 95 kph (60 mph) on the relatively forgiving grades and alignment, and "...on trials they have very considerably exceeded this figure, and are doing excellent work in actual service."
