Class Details by Steve Llanso of Sweat House Media

Class 858 (Locobase 7328)

Data from Titre Exposition universelle internationale de 1878 a Paris. Rapports du jury internationale..Volume Groupe VI - Classe 64. Rapport sur le materiel des chemins de fer. p. 50 (cnum.cnam.fr/CGI/fpage.cgi?8XAE277-11.1/54/100/312/0/0 (accessed 1 September 2005).

The jury doesn't tell us much about this little four-coupled tank except that its service area was to be on a Reseau d'Interet Local. (Locobase will consult a translator ...).
