Jura-Simplon 0-6-0 Locomotives in Switzerland


Class Details by Steve Llanso of Sweat House Media

Class unknown (Locobase 12124)

Data from A Mallet, "Developpment de L'Application du System Compound", Memoirs ...Societe des Ingenieurs Civils, Annee [Juillet] 1890, Vol II (Paris: SIC, 1890). table pp. 42-43.

Mallet's own two-cylinder cross-compounding system. Locobase believes this locomotive to have been converted from an existing six-coupled simple-expansion engine.
