The Belgian State Railways Type 5 was a class of 2-4-0T steam locomotives for local passenger service, introduced in 1880.[1]
Construction history
The locomotives were built by various manufacturers from 1880 to 1881.[1] The machines had an outside frame with the cylinders and the Walschaert located inside the frame.[2] Starting with 1900 the machines received new boilers, with overall weight increasing to 32 t (31.49 long tons; 35.27 short tons).[1]
