"Diagrams [of] Locomotives and 'Passports' [sic], published in Moskva (Moscow), 1935 pp. 40-41, PDF supplied by Teemu Koivmaki in his 5 October 2019. (Many thanks to Teemu for sending what might never have fallen into Locobase's hands. An indispensable addition to Locobase's library.)
Originally oil burners, converted to coal in 1930. Designed by Vazlav Lopushinski. Piston valve diameter measured 250 mm (9.84 in). 16 built for Caucasian in 1915-1918, 48 more for Moscow-Leningrad in 1923-1926. Later moved back south and thence to Ordshonikidze region. In 1947 redesignated Lp (Lopushinsky - built at Putilov.) Not as economical as 2-6-2.
