Engine-tender
A engine-tender is a Locomotive with vapor where the reserves of Eau and Combustible are not any more on a separate tender but on the frame of the engine itself.
The absence of tender is a favorable condition to facilitate the operations and to standardize the control of the engine moving before and in step back. In theory, the related weight is higher than a configuration with tender. It is however an adverse condition for autonomy, because volume available is limited.
The machines of this category are in general machines obligations to be as well functioned works from there before in step back by saving the time spent to the reversal: intensive operation with a reduced autonomy. One thus found them like machines of service of operation ( 050 TQ ), of traction of suburban trains ( 141 TC ), of traction of difficult lines with weak rays ( 141 MT ). The machines with Narrow gauge railway are very often engines-tender.
