Caile Ferate Romane 0-6-2 Locomotives in Romania


Class Details by Steve Llanso of Sweat House Media

Class 131 (Locobase 6466)

Data from [link] , which has preserved 131 060.

This locomotive appears to have been based on the (Locobase 5876), but with the front truck removed.

NB: The direct heating surface (including the firebox heating surface) is an estimate calculated by subtracting the calculated tube heating surface from the reported total evaporative heating surface.
