Stockholm-Saltsjobachu 2-4-2 Locomotives in Sweden


Class Details by Steve Llanso of Sweat House Media

Class unknown (Locobase 10210)

Data from Eric V Snall, "Recent Swedish Locomotives", The Locomotive Magazine, Vol VI (November 1901), p. 189.

These locomotives used the Lentz stayless boiler and corrugated firebox. According to the author, the Lentz's virtues were a lower construction cost, easier changeout of new for old firebox, good water circulation, large steam space, and therefore dry steam. It was very similar to the Vanderbilt boiler.
