The Belgian State Railways Type 12 was a class of 2-4-2 steam locomotives for express passenger service, introduced in 1888. They were the successors of the Belgian State Railways Type 1 locomotives.[1]
Construction history
The locomotives were built by various manufacturers from 1888 to 1897.[1] The machines had an outside frame with the cylinders and the Walschaert valve gear located inside the frame.[2]
The locomotives used three-axle tenders with a 14 m3 (490 cu ft) capacity, as well as two-axle tenders with 9 m3 (320 cu ft).[1]
