The Tubize Type 14 was a three-coupled tank locomotive. Presumably only four copies of the steam locomotive were built by the Société Génerale d'Exploitaton des Chemins de Fer in Tubize .
history
The wet steam locomotive series came from a series of different series that were built in standardized form for numerous railway companies. In 1875 the Chemins de fer Prince Henri received four machines, which were classified as series B with the numbers 21 to 24. The locomotives were taken over in 1878 by the Société Anonyme des chemins de fer et minières Prince Henri .
The steam locomotives were initially used primarily on the Ettelbrück – Wasserbillig and Kautenbach – Bastogne lines , and later on the Petingen – Lamadelaine .
One vehicle was sold in 1908, the remaining three decommissioned in 1925.
