The 25 locomotives of the first batch were originally delivered as 0-8-4 Engerth locomotives by Le Creusot in 1856–1857, [2] with the fleet numbers 0.164 to 0.188. [3] Due to the inherent inconveniences of the Engerth system, particularly in case of derailments, the decision was taken to rebuild these engines into locomotives with separate tenders, at which point they were also renumbered 0. ...
Locomotive Seguin is the first steam locomotive to use a tubular boiler, a groundbreaking invention that multiplied the developed power by sixfold. [1] Boiling is achieved by circulating the combustion gases in multiple 'fire tubes' passing through the heating body, significantly increasing the thermal exchange surface and efficiency.
In 1913 a top feed and new steam pipes were fitted, and then in 1916 the boiler was replaced by a GWR standard No.1 boiler. In 1926, along with two other French locomotives 103 President and 104 Alliance, 102 was based at Oxford shed. [6] La France was withdrawn in October 1926 having achieved 728,031 miles. [4]
