Consolidation Type Locomotive for Belgium Built In Record Time details, as will be noted from the photograph, the Belgiantype of cab and tender were used. This was done in orderto permit the .American locomotives to couple with the ex-isting Belgian tenders and vice versa. The Belgian StateRailways standard train connection of the screw link ty])ewith two spring buffers, the international system of threads,and French-\\estinghouse brake equipment with French-Westinghouse pipe threads were also included. engines are to be used in both freight and passen-ger service and are designed for 16-deg. curves and a maxi-mum grade of .^..i per cent. Following European practice,all the engines are built for left-hand drive. All gages aregraduated in kilograms per square centimeter. The specifications called for a weight on drivers of 164,-000 lb., weight on truck of 22,000 lb., total weight of engine186,000 lb., and a weight limit per axle of lb.
