Приветствую!

Я не знаю, как поставить свой вопрос в нужное место!

Я отправлюсь сюда!

Нужна помощь в идентификации локомотива для тротуара. Этот локомотив существовал в России в начале двадцатого века на металлургическом заводе в Нижнем Тагиле. Фотография датирована 1902 годом.

20249936_m.jpg

По многим причинам этот локомотив аналогичен некоторым примерам промышленных локомотивов в Великобритании, Ирландии.

В нашей стране помимо этой фотографии больше нет информации в истории ...

Я очень надеюсь, что ваше сообщество поможет мне.

С уважением, Андрей Р.

Translation..

 

 

Greetings!

I do not know how to put my question in the right place!

I'll come here!

Need help identifying the locomotive for the sidewalk. This locomotive existed in Russia at the beginning of the twentieth century at a metallurgical plant in Nizhny Tagil. The photo is dated 1902 year.

 

For many reasons, this locomotive is similar to some examples of industrial locomotives in the UK, Ireland.

In our country besides this photo there is no more information in history ...

I really hope that your community will help me.

Sincerely, Andrei R.

The locomotive was made by the Hunslet Company in Leeds, they manufactured many for export in addition to the British market. I have not been able to find me the exact number or date built.

 

I hope that helps.

 

 

Локомотив был сделан компанией Hunslet в Лидсе, они изготовили многие для экспорта в дополнение к британскому рынку. Я не смог найти точное число или дату. Надеюсь, это поможет.

If I had to put any money on it I would plump for Belgian or French origin.

The outside cylinders look "foreign" to my eyes and the safety valve doesn't look particulary domestic either. It is actually quite a large loco for an 0-6-0, and particularly a British 0-6-0 saddle tank,  if you scale the chap in the cab to his environs.

I would agree the loco is British built by Hunslet. or possibly Hudswell Clark. But I would also suggest it has been fitted with a replacement boiler, and one available has been made to fit, The smokebox fit looks rather amateurish, The man in the cab is sitting on something, making him seem smaller he really was.

i do not have to hand a Hunslet list, but  Hudswells sent the following 0-6-0ST s to Russia it seems.

421 of 10 May 1894 to St Petersburg  15inch cylinders

488 31 March 1898  to St Petersburg "Novorossisk" is mentioned

Both 15 inch outside cylinders

592 31 July 1901 to Heirs of Paul Demidoff

16 inch outside cylinders.

All sent via S G Martin (agents)

They all seem a bit young to need a new boiler by 1902, but the general look of the loco is not of a much older one.
