Class 1/2001 (Locobase 21325)

Data from "Locomotivas de Vapor de Via Larga"p. 23

The expansiveness of the Castillian Gauge (minus 4 mm in Portugal) meant the Manchester builder's nonet for the MD as their inaugural motive power could have as big a boiler as those on the Continent and in the British Isles. But the design's firebox heating surface and grate areas placed it well down the table.

Note on heating surface area:

NB: When tube heating surface area is measured using 45 mm (1.75") inside (fire side) diameter, total evaporative heating surface area including firebox amounted to 108.7 sq m (1,218 sq ft ). Locobase used the outside (water side) diameter.

Class 12/02012 (Locobase 21301)

Data from [], last accessed 30 November 2008; and "Locomotivas de Vapor de Via Larga"p. 15 , posted by Guarda Freio at 18:01, 23 September 2018, at [], last accessed 25 January 2026. Works numbers were 1797-1798 in 1878, 3855 in 1896, and 4583-4584 in 1904.

Note on heating surface area:

NB: When tube heating surface area is measured using 44 mm (1.75") inside (fire side) diameter, total evaporative heating surface area including firebox amounted to 77.3 sq m (832 sq ft ). Locobase used the outside (water side) diameter.

Class 17 (Locobase 21315)

The CB in Brussels, Belgium combined Ateliers Charles Evrard & Cie de Bruxelles et des Etablissements Parmentier & Cie de La Croyère in 1859.

This sextet of passenger six-wheelers inaugurated the firm's new name. Two years later, an order from a Spanish railway was diverted to the CFM (Locobase 21316).

The 22 (ex-6) left the roster in 1923. The other five remained in service until the early 1950s.

Note on heating surface area:

NB: When tube heating surface area is measured using 44 mm (1.75") inside (fire side) diameter, total evaporative heating surface area including firebox amounted to 110.9 sq m (1,194 sq ft ). Locobase used the outside (water side) diameter.

Class 32 (Locobase 21316)

Data from "Locomotivas de Vapor de Via Larga"p. 23

Spain's Barcelona a Gerona ordered this sextet in 1864, but did take delivery, so Schneider delivered them to the CFP. They arrived at a convenient time for the CFP in supplementing its passenger power.

Note on heating surface area:

NB: When tube heating surface area is measured using 45 mm (1.75") inside (fire side) diameter, total evaporative heating surface area including firebox amounted to 109.3 sq m (1,170 sq ft ). Locobase used the outside (water side) diameter.
