SNCB
(Societe Nationale des Chemins de fer Belges) Type 1 were 4-6-2 steam
locomotives built in 1935 for working heavy express passenger trains. Fifteen
locomotives were built by the Societe Annonyme la Metallurgique at their Tubize
factory. They were retired in 1962, and
one locomotive, 1.002 has been preserved by SNCB. It is displayed at the Treignes
railway museum of heritage railway in the south of Belgium.
The

the story of the industrial and railway history of Belgium. You will find on
four of the 100m tracks, old steam locomotives, diesel auto-rails, locomotives
from the 1950's, passenger coaches and railway maintenance vehicles. This
museum was founded in 1994 and is situated on the grounds of the old
