Short description:

The tank locomotive from type 3 (020) has been built in 1913 from belgium builder Cockerill. It was equiped with a outer firebox from short size so that it can be ready for operation in a very short period of time (ca.30 minutes). Its wheels with short diameter permit an acceptable starting tractive effort and consequently accelerations. However the boiler is quite shortly designed so that after some minutes driver full load a break is needed to enable production of steam!

Before it has been bought by a founding member, it belonged to the company Chiers-Châtillon-Gorcy in Charleville und before that to the steel mill in La Plaine, not far from Paris. Boiler was replaced in 1950.
