Mexican State Railway classes G-030 and G-033

Mexico 1921 48 produced
No. 268 in 1961 at the San Lazaro terminal at Mexico City Greg Maxwell collection

The Nacionales de México class G-030 consisted of 20 three-foot gauge Consolidations delivered by Baldwin in 1921. The outside frames were designed in such a way that a later conversion to standard gauge would have been possible. They were fired with oil and were designed for lines with gradients of up to 4.5 percent and curve radii of up to 21 degrees (85 meters).

In reality, however, there were only a few modifications that were carried out by the NdeM shortly after delivery. These affected, for example, the blastpipe, the position of the air pump and the fire door. Eight more followed in 1924, which had a larger firebox and were designated class G-033. They became the standard freight locomotive in rural areas and survived until the late 1960s.
