The NMBS/SNCB Type 29 was a class of 2-8-0 steam locomotives built between 1945 and 1946. The class was ordered and used to help revive the operations of the National Railway Company of Belgium (NMBS/SNCB) following World War II. The locomotives were assembled in Canada and the United States, and supplied to Belgium under the auspices of what later became known as the Marshall Plan.[1]
One member of the class, no. 29.013, has been preserved by the NMBS/SNCB for display at Train World, the Belgian national railway museum at Schaarbeek railway station in north-central Brussels.
