| Historical Data |
Most were rebuilt as pannier tanks in the early 1910's and 1920's. A number of these engines were built as broad gauge convertibles with the wheels outside the double frames. Some were even converted from standard gauge to broad gauge but all were converted to standard gauge by 1893. |
