The Belgian State Railways Type 2 was a class of 0-6-0 steam locomotives for passenger service, introduced in 1875.

[1] Alfred Belpaire derived the locomotive design from the Type 28 by replacing the 1,450 mm (57.09 in) wheels of the Type 28 with larger 1,700 mm (66.93 in) diameter ones.

[1] The Type 2 was derived from the Type 28 by replacing the wheels of 1,450 mm (57.09 in) diameter with lager 1,700 mm (66.93 in) diameter wheels.

[1] The machines used a Belpaire firebox and had an outside frame with the cylinders and the Stephenson valve gear located inside the frame.

[3] The rebuild was done by decoupling and swapping out the leading 1.7 m wheeled axle of a Type 2 with a 1.45 m wheeled axle of a Type 28 locomotive.
