The [[Metre-gauge railway|metre-gauge]] [[Estrada de Ferro Central do Brasil|Central Railway of Brazil]] took delivery of four 2-8-8-4s from the [[Germany|German]] firm of [[Henschel]] in 1937. They were the only narrow gauge locomotives of this [[wheel arrangement]]. They had the largest boilers ever used on a narrow-gauge simple expansion locomotive.

Soviet Russia constructed two 2-8-8-4 locomotives at the [[Kolomna Locomotive Works]]. These were the [[:ru:П38|P38]] Class numbers P38.001 and P38.002. The first locomotive carried partial casings over the boiler and smokebox typical of the 1950s. P38.002 bore no such adornments and had a more conventional appearance. Both engines had tenders with part bogie and part fixed frame similar to the American 'centipede' tenders.{{sfn|Rakov|1995}}{{page needed|date=February 2017}}
