Moscow-Kazan 4-6-0 Locomotives in Russia


Class Details by Steve Llanso of Sweat House Media

Class unknown (Locobase 10204)

Data from "The Works of Messrs Henschel & Sohn, Cassel", The Locomotive Magazine, Vol VI (September 1901), p. 152.

These were mixed-traffic Ten-wheelers with all five axles closely spaced. The author explains that the cap on the stack (chimney) prevented "...cold air passing to the tubes and causing them to leak."
