The Belgian State Railways Type 1 was a class of 2-4-0 steam locomotives for passenger service, introduced in 1864. [1]
The class was built by various Belgian manufacturers, with the exception of 9 members built in 1867 by Schneider-Creusot in France. [1]
The locomotives were built by various manufacturers from 1864 to 1883. [1] A Belpaire firebox was used and the boiler consisted of three boiler shells. [2] The machines had an outside frame with the cylinders and the Stephenson valve gear located inside the frame.
The design evolved over the years of construction. While first series in 1864 was produced without cabs, they were added in the following series in 1865–1866. [3] On the earlier series the suspension had simple balancing levers between the driving wheels. The engines built by Couillet and Schneider in 1867–1868 used a doorbell mechanism instead of the balancing lever to equalize the suspension forces between the two driving axles and on the last series in 1882 balancing levers between the leading axle and the first driver were used, combined with larger leaf springs on the rear driving axle. [3]
Westinghouse brakes were fitted starting in 1878. The locomotives also received new boilers and new cabs on major overhauls beginning with 1889.

From 1864 until 1890 the Type 1 was used on the main passenger trains on the major lines of the network, except for the line to Luxembourg. [1] With the advent of the Type 12 in 1888 the machines were deployed to secondary lines. [12] The last locomotives were withdrawn from service in 1921–1926. [1] [4]
The du Bousquet locomotive was an unusual design of articulated steam locomotive invented by French locomotive designer Gaston du Bousquet. The design was a tank locomotive, carrying all its fuel and water on board the locomotive proper, and a compound locomotive. The boiler and superstructure were supported upon two swivelling trucks, in a manner similar to a Meyer locomotive.
The Saxon Class XIV T locomotives were six-coupled tank engines operated by the Royal Saxon State Railways for mixed duties on main and branch lines. In 1925, the Deutsche Reichsbahn grouped them into their DRG Class 75.5.
The NMBS/SNCB Type 12 was a class of 4-4-2 steam locomotives built in 1938–1939 for the fast lightweight Ostend boat trains operated by the National Railway Company of Belgium.
The Belgian State Railways Type 10, later known as the NMBS/SNCB Type 10, was a class of 4-6-2 steam locomotives built between 1910 and 1914.
The Belgian State Railways Type 23, later known as the NMBS/SNCB Type 53, was a class of 0-8-0T steam locomotives built between 1904 and 1927.
The Alsace-Lorraine A 2 was a class of German 2-4-0 express passenger locomotives. In 1906 the Imperial Railways in Alsace-Lorraine reclassified them as P 2.
Est 501 to 562 was a class of 62 French 2-4-0 locomotives for express passenger service, built in 1878–1886 for the Chemins de fer de l'Est.
The Belgian State Railways Type 12 was a class of 2-4-2 steam locomotives for express passenger service, introduced in 1888. They were the successors of the Belgian State Railways Type 1 locomotives.
The Belgian State Railways Type 25 was a class of 0-6-0 steam locomotives for freight service, introduced in 1884.
The Belgian State Railways Type 28 was a class of 0-6-0 steam locomotives for freight service, introduced in 1864.
The Belgian State Railways Type 29 was a class of 0-6-0 steam locomotives for freight service, introduced in 1875.
The Belgian State Railways Type 2 was a class of 0-6-0 steam locomotives for passenger service, introduced in 1875. Alfred Belpaire derived the locomotive design from the Type 28 by replacing the 1,450 mm (57.09 in) wheels of the Type 28 with larger 1,700 mm (66.93 in) diameter ones.
The Belgian State Railways Type 51 was a class of 0-6-0T steam locomotives for shunting and local train service, introduced in 1866.

The Belgian State Railways Type 20 was a class of 0-8-0T steam locomotives, introduced in 1870.
The Belgian State Railways Type 11 was a class of 0-6-0T steam locomotives for local passenger traffic, introduced in 1888. It gradually replaced the Type 5 in this role.
The Belgian State Railways Type 6 was a class of 2-6-0 steam locomotives for express passenger service on steep inclines, introduced in 1885.
The Belgian State Railways Type 4 was a class of 2-6-2T steam locomotives for passenger traffic, introduced in 1878.
The Belgian State Railways Type 30 was a class of 0-6-0 steam locomotives for mixed service, introduced in 1900.
