SS 800 class

what is it?

The SS 800 class, later reclassified as the F10 class, were a class of 28 2-12-2T steam locomotives built by Hanomag and later Werkspoor for the Staatsspoorwegen, the state railway of the Dutch East Indies, presently Indonesia. They were one of very few twelve-coupled locomotives to be built. Built between 1912 and 1920, the 800 class were designed to handle heavy traffic over mountainous terrain on the island of Java.
