One of these new locomotivesreplaces two of the machines hitherto employed for hauling accommo-dation passenger trains on the slopes of the Alps. They are verypowerful machines for their weight and are doing excellent the first lot of eight machines a further lot of eight ison order from Maffei. For light haulage work the motor-car engine has been carefullystudied by many locomotive builders, including Maffei. This class
