Construction history

Type 29 rebuilt with a Brotan water-tube boiler. Wir fahren hier im Feindesland zum Wohle fur das Vaterland, Charleroi 1914-1915.jpg
Type 29 rebuilt with a Brotan water-tube boiler.

The locomotives were built in two main series, the first series from 1875 to 1884 and the second from 1898 to 1901. [1] The later machines differed by the dimensions of the boiler, the shelter, suspension and appearance of the smoke box. [1] Some of the older series were eventually reboilered.

The Type 29 was very similar to the Type 28, from which it differed mainly in the diameter of the wheels (1.30 m instead of 1.45 m) and some details of the chassis. [1] [1] The machines used a Belpaire firebox and had an outside frame with the cylinders and the Stephenson valve gear located inside the frame. [2]

The Prussian G 12 CFOA-type variant was a class of German 2-10-0 locomotives used by the Prussian state railways. The locomotives of this type were originally an order from the Ottoman Ministry of War, and fifteen examples were intended for the Chemins de fer Ottomans d'Anatolie (CFOA). Due to the course of the war, only five locomotives could initially be delivered by Henschel to the CFOA. The other five locomotives went to the German Military Railways with the consent of the customer. They were assigned to the Military Directorate General in Brussels as G 12 numbers 5551 to 5555. To replace these five locomotives, Henschel delivered another five locomotives to the CFOA in 1918. The remaining five locomotives ordered for the Ottoman Empire were not made.
