Data from Record of Recent Construction #55 (Baldwin Locomotive Works, 1906), p. 30-31; and DeGolyer, Volume 29, p. 253 and Volume 49, p. 79.. Works numbers were 30039 in January 1907; 30067-30068 in February; 33512 in June 1909; and 33527-33528 in July.
This cabbage-stacker was one of the few Eight-wheeler designs on the metre gauge that ran as a two-cylinder compound. Baldwin's specs show rail weights of 40 lb/yard (20 kg/metre), maximum grades of 2% and curves of 17 degrees (328 foot/100 metres radii). In the specifications for the first three, a note warned"Special attention to be given to stay bolts as R R Co [sic] complains of those [unclear] on previous engines."
Connelly's record of Baldwin orders does not say if the class was converted to simple-expansion.
