History
Two prototypes were designed by Alfred de Glehn, of SACM and Gaston du Bousquet of the Nord.[1] They were four-cylinder compound locomotives. In 1903, locomotives 2.121 to 2.123 and 2.126 were sold to the Compagnie du Nord - Belge who renumbered them 307 to 310.[2]
Construction
SACM delivered two prototypes from their Belfort factory in 1891, and later delivered all the production locomotives:
