Posted by: Dale W Fickés on Mar 14, 2022 @ 10:03:41
This could be the 0-4-0T No. 1 “COQUETTE” that the late P R-W describes at the former Tarare Quarry near Lyon (actually one of at least two, east of Villefranche sur Saône north of Lyon), that later worked on the CFT de Meyzieu for OTL and which may have plinthed upon it’s closure ?

I also have this locomotive as having been built in 1918, according to the construction number.

The late P R-W has this as O&K 1769 (NOT 1759) with which I would concur and was No. 22-5 of the Tramway de Pithiviers à Toury. It was No. 5 “LOIRET” with the CFT de Meyzieu and the OTL outside Lyon in the 1960s.

Chicago, Burlington & Quincy RR 2-8-2 No. 4994

Posted by: Steve Frost, European Editor on Mar 13, 2022 @ 15:03:30
The Fort Worth & Denver was acquired by the Colorado & Southern as long ago as 1899. In 1908 the C&S was bought by the CB&Q who ran it as a subsidiary road. Under Texas law, however, all railroads in that state were required to have headquarters in Texas, so the FW&D and the C&S maintained their identity but remained in the ownership of the Burlington, hence CB&Q locos being used by them. An earlier note gives a full story of the loco and explains the numbering.

NORD 4-6-4 No. 3.1102

Posted by: Steve Frost, European Editor on Mar 13, 2022 @ 14:03:07
Designed by Gaston du Bousquet, it is a four cylinder compound on the de Glehn system. De Glehn and du Bousquet worked closely together on compounding. The inside Low Pressure cylinders were not in line, but staggered, which helped the rigidity of the chassis. Only two were ever built, du Bousquet's death seemingly preventing further development. They were know as 'Les Orphelines' ('The orphans') as a result.

In 1937, Nord sectioned the loco to show the internal workings of the machine which ensured its survival. SNCF presented it to the National Railway Museum at Mulhouse in 1971.

SNCF 4-8-2.4Cyl No. 241P 9

Posted by: Dale W Fickés on Mar 13, 2022 @ 14:03:14
There are four ex SNCF 4-8-2 4Cyl locomotives that come up on this site:- 241P 9 Schneider 4911 of 1949 241P 16 Schneider 4918 of 1948 241P 17 Schneider 4915 of 1950 241P 30 Schneider 4911 of 1950 There were originally 35 (as with the LNER A4’s) in the class built 1948-52, and whist not necessarily catalogued consecutively, there is clearly something amiss here! Perhaps someone else has a correct listings ?

SNCF (ETAT) 4-8-2 No. 241A65 (241.001)

Posted by: Dale W Fickés on Mar 13, 2022 @ 14:03:00
This locomotive was originally Etat No. 241.001 and, had a tender fitted with a water scoop (only to be found on the Etat) and removed when transferred to SNCF (Est) following WW2 and removed by 1950.

SNCF (Ouest) 4-8-2.4Cyl No. 241A 1(41.001)

SNCF (PLM) 0-8-0 No. 040B 9 (3219)

Number 040 B 9, incidentally followed by No. 4 B 9, were both PLM running numbers following 3219. It may not have reached SNCF service given it’s age ?

SNCF (PLM) 0-8-0 No. 040A 51 (4052)

Originally PLM No. 4052 and believed, according to P R-W, to have been built at the company’s works in Paris (presumably Ivry ?) rather than Arles, no known construction number.

Posted by: Dale W Fickés on Mar 13, 2022 @ 12:03:07
The locomotive, considered a failure, was sectioned for an exhibition in Paris during 1937. It never entered into service with SNCF.
