4-6-4 Steam Locomotives in Netherlands

Staatsspoorewegen


Class Details by Steve Llanso of Sweat House Media

Class 1200/6000 (Locobase 7510)

Data from 1946 Beyer, Peacock catalogue hosted on Martyn Bane's website at [] (accessed 21 May 2006). See also "4-6-4 Tank Engines, Netherlands State Railways", Locomotive Magazine, Volume 19 (15 December 1913), pp. 272-273.

Batch #0787 (works# 5843-5855,5859-5861, 5867,5874-5876) (Production data from The Beyer, Peacock production list -- [], last accessed 29 May 2006).

Built to the same general size as the tender-engine 4-6-0s, the 4-6-4Ts in this batch followed a set of six (works #5674-5679) delivered by Beyer, Peacock in the previous year.

The rakish profile includes relatively short side tanks (they extended forward only to the first driven axle, a high-mounted Belpaire firebox, full two-way cab. The 6107-6121 had slightly longer tanks.

The SS cancelled 14 locomotives from the 40-locomotive order because of a drop in traffic in neutral Netherlands because of the start of World War I. Those went to Great Britain's Railway Operating Division.
