The equivalent UIC classification is refined to (1′E)E1′ for Mallet locomotives. All 2-10-10-2 locomotives have been articulated locomotives of the Mallet type. This wheel arrangement was rare. Only two classes of 2-10-10-2 locomotives have been built: the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway's 3000 class, and the Virginian Railway's class ...
In rail transport, a wheel arrangement or wheel configuration is a system of classifying the way in which wheels are distributed under a locomotive. [1] Several notations exist to describe the wheel assemblies of a locomotive by type, position, and connections, with the adopted notations varying by country.
The strongest Mallet locomotives in Europe were the members of the MÁV 601 which was built for the Hungarian State Railways, a 2-6-6-0 locomotive. With their 22.5 m (73 ft 10 in) length, 163.3 t (180.0 short tons) weight and 2,200 kW (3,000 hp) power output, the MÁV 601 was the longest, heaviest and most powerful steam locomotive built before ...
An equalising system links not only the driving-wheel axles but also the trailing and/or leading truck axle(s). [3]: 32 [5] [6]: 425 Leaf springs Main suspension springs for the locomotive. Each driving wheel supports its share of the locomotive's weight via leaf springs that connect the axle's journal box / axle box (40) to the frame.
The locally built 2-10-0 locomotives were represented by some TE (built from captured German parts), SO (Sergo Ordjonikidze) and L (Lebedyanski)–series locomotives. The L-series locomotives were one of the more advanced steam locomotives built in the former Soviet Union. They used an automatic stoker to feed coal and had a relatively low axle ...
It was used by ATSF as an experimental locomotive and was rostered as a member of ATSF's 3800 class of 2-10-2s that was fitted with a four-wheel trailing truck. Nearly 100 more 3800 class locomotives were delivered after No. 3829, but all with the 2-10-2 wheel arrangement.
The Baldwin Class 10-12-D was a class of narrow gauge 4-6-0 PT steam locomotives built by the Baldwin Locomotive Works (USA) for the British War Department Light Railways for service in France during World War I. They were built in 1916–1917 to 600 mm (1 ft 11 + 5 ⁄ 8 in) gauge.
SAR Class 20 as experimental condensing locomotive. One more 2-10-2 locomotive, the Class 20, was designed for branch line work on light rail by A.G. Watson, Chief Mechanical Engineer from 1929 to 1936. Only one locomotive was built by the SAR at its Pretoria Mechanical Shops at Salvokop in 1935.
