Class Details by Steve Llanso of Sweat House Media

Class H/A5 (Locobase 20209)

Data from Litt-A5, one of a series of SJ locomotive diagrams archived by Anders Lundbing on [], last accessed 10 June 2017 (Snabcon AB advertised its tools for mounting RJ45 connectors on bundled cables.) Works numbers were 742-743 in 1930.

Locobase isn't sure about the relationship between these two locomotives and the OKB A3 engines shown in Locobase 20208 or the A6 in Locobase 20210. They have the same cylinder volume and driver diameters, but even less heating surface area because their tube and flue diameters are slightly smaller than the A3. The diagrams show different railways for the A5 and A6 and the boilers differ slightly as well.

(NB: Locobase's specifications show the evaporative heating surface area using the tubes' outer diameter (i.e., the water side). The SJ's calculation used the narrower, fire-side diameters of 42.5 mm and 118 mm (1.67" and 4.65"), tube and flue respectively, which produced a total EHS of 116.03 sq m (1,249 sq ft).)
