1860 was the first built and was intended to be the test locomotive used to gain approval to run in Belgium and neighbouring Countries. By the time 1859 was built, the approvals process should have been finished and 1860 would have entered normal service. Such is life!
1860 has been in Belgium on and off for years now, but only
recently has she been accepted by NMBS/SNCB. Today is the first time I have seen a report of her pulling a train with passengers on.
Do keep an eye on page one of this thread because I do keep the lijst up to date and I think NMBS/SNCB now have 51 Type 18s allocated to Kinkempois. Some of the 51 are in service and some are still undergoing acceptance. I expect a lull over Christmas before deliveries from Germany start again in January. Slowly all the gaps are being filled in and sometime in early February I expect 1801 to 1860 to all be in Belgium.
Have a Merry Christmas!
