Nord 360 to 399, renumbered to Nord 4.361 to 4.400 in 1872, were 0-8-4T Engerth locomotives for freight traffic of the Chemins de Fer du Nord. The machines were built in 1856–1857 and retired from service in 1907–1910.

Construction history

[edit]

The machines were built by Schneider and Grafenstaden in 1856–1857.[1] The 0-8-4T locomotives were of a modified Engerth design, with the articulated two-axle tender being supported by the fourth driving axle. The firebox was as of the Crampton type. The boiler consisted of three boiler shells with a Crampton regulator located at the extreme front. The cylinders were on the outside of the locomotive frame and the locomotives had a Gooch valve gear.
