Polish State Rwys 2-10-2 Locomotives in Poland


Class Details by Steve Llanso of Sweat House Media

Class Okz-32 (Locobase 1688)

Data from Tomas Galka's English-language Polish locomotives website [link], last accessed 10 January 2007.

An unusual wheel arrangement for a passenger tank engine. Although they resembled the Ty-23 tender engine," the motion was completely redesigned, and the cylinders, which were smaller both in diameter and stroke, had straight ports and large-diameter piston valves." [A[nthony] E[dward] Durrant, The steam loc]. The tank engine also worked a smaller boiler at a higher pressure.

See thread in [link] . The design was a success and lasted to the end of steam.
