The steam locomotives "THESEUS" and "CENTAUR" were passenger locomotives of the KFNB . They were supplied by the Cockerill locomotive factory in Seraing in 1842 and most likely had the axle formula 1A1 (1B can also be found in some sources). In 1853 the machines had different dimensions (see table). The "THESEUS" also received a new boiler by then.
Both locomotives were retired in 1862 .
