Rio Grande Railroad 2-4-2 No. 1

Posted by: Brian Garvin on Mar 13, 2022 @ 11:03:55
Whilst built as a 2-4-0 my records show it as a 2-4-2.

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

Posted by: Brian Garvin on Mar 13, 2022 @ 11:03:56
I visited this loco in April 2015 when it was lettered as Fort Worth & Denver O-1A 401.

SNCF (PLM) 4-6-2 No. 231H 8 (6143)

Posted by: Dale W Fickés on Mar 13, 2022 @ 11:03:19
This locomotive was built as PLM No. 6143; later 231 A 43 followed by No. 231 E 43 and, in 1934, for both PLM and laterally from 1938, as SNCF, No. 231 H 8.

SNCF (PLM) 4-6-0 No. 230B 114 (2714)

Posted by: Brian Garvin on Mar 13, 2022 @ 11:03:39
I agree with Ilford as I have it as Couillet 1522 of 1909.

SNCF (NORD) 4-6-2.4Cyl No. 231 E 22 (3.1192)

Posted by: Brian Garvin on Mar 13, 2022 @ 11:03:07
Dale you are correct. The 4-6-4 is 3.1102 very similar number.

SNCF (PLM) 4-6-2.4Cyl No. 231K 22 (6222)

Posted by: Brian Garvin on Mar 13, 2022 @ 11:03:22
This loco has been at Bahnpark Augsburg since September 2016.

SNCF (PLM) 4-6-2.4Cyl No. 231K 22 (6222)

Posted by: Dale W Fickés on Mar 13, 2022 @ 09:03:34
Originally PLM running No. 6222, this locomotive spent some time in initial preservation at the former BR (now West Coast Railways) depot in Carnforth, Lancashire, UK

SNCF (NORD) 4-6-2.4Cyl No. 231 E 22 (3.1192)

Posted by: Dale W Fickés o on Mar 13, 2022 @ 08:03:54
Am I (again ?) mistaken in thinking this is a 4-6-2 (rather than 4-6-4) locomotive, as also depicted in the excellent B&W photograph by Brian on page 178 of the late P R-W’s book in the French section entitled ‘Preserved Steam Locomotives of Western Europe’ ? It would appear that the locomotive was actually built at Blanc-Misseron (ANF), works. No. 421 in 1936 to later become SNCF No. 231 E 22.

SNCF (PLM) 4-6-0 No. 230B 114 (2714)

Posted by: Dale W Fickés on Mar 13, 2022 @ 07:03:33
This appears to be another mystery! The late P R-W had this recorded as being built by Henschel, the class of 160 compound locomotives being built between 1904 and 1909. However I can find no record of any of these still extant with this builder, nor any other large German producer. Several years ago ILFORD reported that this was in fact No. 1522 of 1908 (which fits) but did not name the builder. I would also, by date, concur that it is NOT by Couillet as currently stated. However, with further research it is not a million miles away from the 4-6-0 Class C built for Etat in 1909, 1541, so currently can only conclude that the builder is actually Batignolles in Bordeaux, for the PLM ?

South Eastern & Chatham Railway 0-4-4T No. 263 (31263)

Posted by: Russell Newman on Mar 12, 2022 @ 13:03:43
The sole surviving South Eastern & Chatham Railway H Class 0-4-4T No. 263 has been withdrawn from service following the end of its current 10 year boiler ticket. Its overhaul should get underway later this year as the locomotive is in need of new tyres, springs and a new tubeplate to be fitted. But thanks to much recent mechanical work carried out it is envisaged that the overhaul should be quite straightforward to do.

Caledonian Railway 0-4-4T No. 419 (15189, 55189)

Posted by: Russell Newman on Mar 12, 2022 @ 12:03:03

VR 2-8-0 No. TV2 618

Posted by: Steve Frost, European Editor on Mar 12, 2022 @ 12:03:34
Yes, an all American design. She would grace any US short line (Gauge aside).

Posted by: Russell Newman on Mar 12, 2022 @ 12:03:08
The ex Lancashire & Yorkshire Railway Ironclad 0-6-0 No. 957 has been repainted into BR Black livery with its British Railways running Number No. 52044.

Posted by: Russell Newman on Mar 12, 2022 @ 12:03:36
2022 marks a 100 year when the first Victorian Railways K Class 2-8-0 entered service in Victoria, Australia and to mark this as part of the open day at Steamrail Victoria base at Newport ex Victorian Railways K Class 2-8-0 K153 has been turned out in the guise of the first class member built K100 which was the class leader of the original 10 K Class locomotives built in 1922.

NORD 4-2-2-0 No. 220-701

Posted by: Brian Garvin on Mar 12, 2022 @ 10:03:30
I have this loco recorded as a 4-2-2-0.

StLB 0-10-0T No. Kh 101

Posted by: Brian Garvin on Mar 12, 2022 @ 10:03:01
1419 agreed.

Universale Bau GmbH (Austro-Hungarian Army) 0-6-0T No. 'Heidi' (418)

Posted by: Brian Garvin on Mar 12, 2022 @ 09:03:08
Sorry but this is not HANNI which is a 0-4-0T as illustrated in the Zoubek book page 335 where it can seen that the water tank ends close to the chimney. At the moment the locomotive illustrated is a mystery and I do not have one listed in Trumau. I will ask my Austrian friend for help.

VR 2-8-0 No. TV2 618

Posted by: Brian Garvin on Mar 12, 2022 @ 09:03:00
The classification for this loco is missing it is Tv2. VR ordered 20 from USA as the Finnish locomotive builders were under severe difficulties at the time. It is not a Pershing loco which type is bigger and longer no doubt heavier. VR tracks at that time tended to be ballasted by sand light axle loads being the norm.

PLM 0-6-0 No. 030 TB 2

Posted by: Dale W Fickés on Mar 12, 2022 @ 06:03:18
Clearly, from comments made since 2012, this file needs to be amended, or a new file created as O30 TB 2, PLM Oullins 76/1870; which Brian has stated, deleting any reference to PO and 1423, with this or a second file as 030 A 1, including the PO number and, if any, a photograph inside. The problem is that so many files are years out of date but I appreciate that it is ‘rare’ for ‘new’ locomotives to be omitted!

VR 2-8-0 No. TV2 618

Posted by: Jay on Mar 12, 2022 @ 24:03:06
Could this be a Pershing class...?

PLM 0-6-0 No. 030 TB 2

Posted by: Brian Garvin on Mar 11, 2022 @ 15:03:18
I have this locomotive recorded as 030 TB 2 built by PLM Oullins 76 of 1870. 1423 is fully restored inside the new hall in 2010.

PLM 0-6-0 No. 030 TB 2

Posted by: Dale W Fickés on Mar 11, 2022 @ 09:03:28
This locomotive was originally Paris-Orleans Railway No. 1423 and later PLM No. 030 A 1

NORD 4-2-2-0 No. 220-701

Posted by: Dale W Fickés on Mar 11, 2022 @ 09:03:29
Originally built as a 2-2-2 locomotive, rebuilt to a 4-2-2 in 1892, as I believe it still is as the driving wheels are not coupled, nance NOT 4-4-0 ?

EST (Cf Paris - Strasbourg) 4-2-0 No. 80 'Le Continent'

Posted by: Dale W Fickés on Mar 11, 2022 @ 08:03:56
The late P Ransome-Wallis has this as J F Cail No. 187 (NOT 189) of 1852 named “LE CONTINENT” and built for the Paris - Strasbourg Railway which became the Est two years later, in 1854.It was withdrawn in 1914 and, after WW1, was restored externally and displayed at Paris Gare de l’Est until 1946, when it was taken to Épernay to be fully restored.

Unknown 2-2-2 No. Unknown

Posted by: Dale W Fickés on Mar 11, 2022 @ 07:03:32
Is it not likely that this locomotive is duplicated below in the Bayern file ?

ÖBB (BBÖ,DRB) 0-6-2T No. 498.04 (Uh.4, 99.824)

Posted by: Dale W Fickés on Mar 11, 2022 @ 06:03:38

ÖBB (BBÖ) 4-6-2T No. 77.250 (629.65)

Posted by: Dale W Fickés on Mar 11, 2022 @ 05:03:28
