Serbian State 2-6-2 Locomotives in Serbia


Class Details by Steve Llanso of Sweat House Media

Class 01/21 (Locobase 1718)

Data from "Lokomotivska serijia 61", Skice I Podatci Lokomotiva (Zagreb: JDZ, 1955), p.41; and A[nthony] E[dward] Durrant, The Steam Locomotives of Eastern Europe (Newton Abbot:David & Charles, 1966), supplemented by Roy V Wright (Ed.) 1922 Locomotive Cyclopedia of American Practice, Sixth Edition (New York: Simmons-Boardman Publishing Company, 1922), p. 1004. Works numbers were 55548-55562 in 1915.

Freight Prairies supplied to Serbia, some of which were operated by the British Army at Salonika in Greece.


Class 04 (Locobase 1713)

Data from "Lokomotiva serijia 04", Skice I Podatci Lokomotiva (Zagreb: JDZ, 1955), p. 27;A[nthony] E[dward] Durrant, The Steam Locomotives of Eastern Europe (Newton Abbot:David & Charles, 1966). Works numbers were 4785-4792 in 1912.

Similar to the O1s, but of earlier design and using saturated (i.e., not superheated) steam.
