what is it?

The HSM 190 - 193 were a class of four 1'B (2-4-0) steam locomotives build by Borsig for the Hollandsche Spoorweg Maatschappij in 1888. The locomotives were named as was typical for the HSM. These were of the same type as locomotives of the series 184-189 (later the NS 1100 serie) with the exception that these locomotives were compounds. Compounding was introduced in an effort to improve efficiency.
