Kiev-Brest 0-6-0 Locomotives in Russia


Class Details by Steve Llanso of Sweat House Media

Class C3 (Locobase 21023)

Data from Markku Karvonen's personal.inet.fi/koti/markku.karvonen/prk/vanha3.htm (visited 29 March 2003); and Eljas Polho- Pekka Honkanen, Hoyryveturit Valtionrautateilla (The Steam Locomotives of the Finnish State Railways), Suomen Rautatiehistoriallinen Seura Ry (Finnish Railway History Society) 1967-2017, p. 215. Publishing information supplied by Teemu Koivumaki in a 24 January 2022 email as part of an indispensable series of emails concerning Finnish locomotives. Works numbers were 227-257 in 1871.

Polho and Honkanen reported that the Finnish pair described in Locobase 5611 (works numbers 242-243 were diverted from a large order of 29 locomotives produced by BMAG (road numbers 131-159) for the KBR.

A later pair filled the void opened by the HH engines and took road numbers 160-161. BMAG's production list shows 30 more Cn2 (0-6-0 with saturated boiler), works numbers 392-421 in 1873). Although Locobase supposes these had the same specifications as the earlier batch, he hasn't confirmed the speculation.
