Construction history

The machines were built by Schneider and Grafenstaden in 1856–1857.[1] The 0-8-4T locomotives were of a modified Engerth design, with the articulated two-axle tender being supported by the fourth driving axle. The firebox was as of the Crampton type. The boiler consisted of three boiler shells with a Crampton regulator located at the extreme front. The cylinders were on the outside of the locomotive frame and the locomotives had a Gooch valve gear.
