Data from Apercu des Chemins de Fer Russes Depuis l'Origine Jusqu'en 1892, Editor in Chief Andre de Gortschakov (Brussells: Paul Weissenbruch, 1897).
The authors say that this was a Mallet cross-compound. The two leading axles were balanced. The firebox had a semi-circular roof and was described as a Haswell-system layout. Both Nevsky and Briansk contributed locomotives of this design.
The class was rated at 15 versts/hour (10 mph) pulling a train of 45,000 poods (787 short tons or 703 long tons) up a 0.8% grade.
