Class Details by Steve Llanso of Sweat House Media

Class Avesta (Locobase 3299)

Scale drawing on [] includes a short description. O&K works numbers were 10548-10550. This engine had the same dimensions as the earlier 0-4-0s, but had one more driving axle.

The Avesta went from logging sites to a chalk mine (where it didn't go into service) to an asphalt plant at Hallsberg (Nya Asfalt AB) to heat sand to Avesta Ironworks where it ran until 1962.
