Portuguese Government 0-8-0 Locomotives in Portugal


Class Details by Steve Llanso of Sweat House Media

Class unknown (Locobase 15519)

Data from SACM diagram Nr.80 from Societe Alsacienne de Constructions Mecaniques from locomotive book supplied by Dany Machi up at [link] as

Diagrammes des machines SACM construites a GRAFENSTADEN (October 2007).

Tube diameter is the interior measurement. The diagram show a long, low boiler with Belpaire firebox and a big steam dome just behind the stack
