Data from "Locomotive Engines at the Paris Exhibition", The Artizan, Vol II, 4th Series, #2 (11 February 1868), p. 27; "Sir David Campbell on Railway Apparatus", Reports on the Paris Universal Exhibition 1867, Volume IV (London: George E. Eyre and William Spottiswoode, 1868), pp. 497; and "Some Past and Present Russian Locomotives", Locomotive Magazine, Volume XXI [21] (14 August 1915), pp. 179-180.
This express engine had the usual very tall drivers. Its coupled drivers were equalized through a compensating beam.
LM described these as "excellent engines for loads suitable for their power on easy lines free from sharp curves." One adjustment to "the rigours of the Russian climate" was the addition of "a large and commodious cab."
NB: Heating surfaces in the Locobase entry are derived from the 180 tubes' exterior diameter (51 mm). When the tubes' interior diameter of 46 mm is used (a more common practice in many Continental locomotives), the tube heating surface area was 113 sq m (1,217 sq ft), resulting in an evaporative heating surface area of 123.2 sq m (1,326 sq ft).
