The Chemins de Fer Departmentaux Vivarais and the Chemins de Fer Departmentaux Lozère each possessed 2-4-4-0 Mallet locomotives. The Société Alsacienne de Constructions Mécaniques built three for the Vivarais system in 1908 and two for the Lozère system in 1909. [1] Russian "Class І"
From 1858, he began experimenting with 2-4-0 designs for passenger work, culminating in his Seven-Foot 2-4-0 express passenger locomotives, built between 1859 and 1868. [4] Beattie was also responsible for the long-lived 0298 Class of 2-4-0 well tanks , designed for suburban passenger work in 1874, some examples of which were still working in 1961.
Locomotives classified 2-4-0 under the Whyte notation of locomotive axle arrangements. The equivalent UIC classification of locomotive axle arrangements is 1B or 1'B. Contents
The Midland Railway Class 2 4-4-0 was a series of 12 classes of 4-4-0 steam locomotives built by and for the Midland Railway between 1876 and 1901 while Samuel W. Johnson held the post of locomotive superintendent. They were designed for use on express passenger trains but later on were downgraded to secondary work when more powerful types were ...
0-4-0+0-4-0 Under the Whyte notation for the classification of steam locomotives by wheel arrangement , 2-4-0+0-4-2 is an articulated locomotive , usually of the Garratt type. The wheel arrangement is effectively two 2-4-0 locomotives operating back to back, with the boiler and cab suspended between the two power units.
Swiss classification: 2/3+2/3 For a Mallet locomotive the UIC classification is refined to (1'B)B1' A similar wheel arrangement has been used for Garratt locomotives , but it is referred to as 2-4-0+0-4-2 since both engine units can pivot.
The first series, Nord 2.821–2.832, designed by L. Beugniot as 2-4-0 locomotives, was built by André Koechlin & Cie in Mulhouse in 1870–1871. [1] The locomotive had a double frame with two driving axles and a leading axle which had a clearance of 10 mm (0.39 in) on each side. [2] The firebox had an arced top and sat between the two driving ...
The first British examples were built at Crewe Works in 1845 by the GJR [3] and from 1846 by the GJR's successor, the London and North Western Railway (LNWR), with a 2-2-2 wheel arrangement for passenger classes and 2-4-0 for freight. The first of these GJR 2-2-2 locomotives, Columbine, is preserved at the Science Museum in London. [3] It ...
