Malmo Kontmenten 4-4-0 Locomotives in Sweden


Class Details by Steve Llanso of Sweat House Media

Class unknown (Locobase 10199)

Data from Eric V Snall, "Recent Swedish Locomotives", The Locomotive Magazine, Volume VI [6] (August 1901), p. 139.

This express cross-compound locomotive, exhibited at the 1897 Stockholm Exhibition, boasted the tallest drivers of any Swedish locomotive. One wonders how often it explored its speed potential, especially the spidery drivers and how small and light it was overall.
