FC Supé á San Nicolas Manning Wardle 4-2-0ST
Peru 1868 1 produced
Some locomotives used on haciendas in Peru were of the 4-2-0 wheel arrangement to run through extremely sharp curves. One of these with a saddle tank, built by Manning Wardle in 1868 with works number 246, could later be found on the Ferrocarril de Supé á San Nicolas. Since this railway was only founded in 1898 by the Sociedad Agrícola San Nicolas, the original customer is hard to determine. The railway used another side tank locomotive with the same wheel arrangement that had been built by Black Hawthorn in 1891.
