tarlo è rimasto e avevo pensato alla 142 CFR (1 è ancora attiva e altre sono monumentate)
When the Rumenians looked for a powerful passenger locomotive to serve on the Căile Ferate Române (CFR) main lines across the Carpathian Mountains, they decided upon the Austrian Federal Railways (BBÖ) Class 214.
They purchased the drawings from Austria and 79 locomotives of the same type were built under licence in their modern new Malaxa and Reşiţa Works in Romania. These 2-8-4 locomotives entered service as CFR class 142.000. In 1939 a batch was built with Caprotti instead of Lentz poppet valves, but since some of these were later observed with Lentz valve gear, the Italian gear had presumably been removed.
These locomotives proved to be suitable for Romanian conditions, being of ample dimensions, moderate axle load, straightforward two-cylinder engines of 650 millimetres (25.59 inches) bore with a 720 millimetres (28.35 inches) stroke, and 1,940 millimetres (76.38 inches) diameter driving wheels. The total weight in working order was 123.5 tons, of which 72.1 tons was adhesion weight.
Nearly all of them were still in service in the late 1960s. The Class 142 locomotives hauled the principal CFR express trains on main lines and, like their Austrian cousins, were able to render good performance.
At least two have been preserved for museums, locomotives number 142.008 and 142.072.
