=== Indonesia === [[File:DKA C24 (C 24 07 A).jpg|thumb|NIS 277 or DKA C24 07]] With the successful railway line construction between Djocjakarta ([[Yogyakarta railway station|Yogyakarta]])–[[Magelang]] in 1902, Magelang–Setjang (Secang)–[[Ambarawa Railway Museum|Ambarawa]] in 1903–1905 and branch line between Setjang–Temangoeng ([[Temanggung Regency|Temanggung]])–Parakan in 1907, ''[[Nederlandsch-Indische Spoorweg Maatschappij]]'' (NIS) as a private railway company of [[Dutch East Indies]] (now [[Indonesia]]) felt the need of new locomotives as a complement to their {{whyte|0-6-0|T}} NIS Class 250 which had been operational beforehand. They ordered a new special 2-6-2[[Tank locomotive|T]] from ([[Werkspoor|Werkspoor, N.V]]., [[Amsterdam]]), Netherlands with specifications has a maximum axle weight of 10 tons with an effective [[tractive force]] of 5000 kg, could pass on the [[3 ft 6 in gauge railways|3 ft 6 in (1,067 mm) gauge]] ''Riggenbach'' [[Rack railway|rack line]] between Jambu–Bedono–Gemawang which has 6.5% incline with 8 carriages or wagons at a speed of 30 km/h (18.6 mph) and could pull 200 wagons on flat line also at a speed of 30 km/h. In addition, it has 3 [[Sight glass|sight glasses]] with a function to keep the water at the specified level when passing 6.5% grade which prevent any hazardous condition. [[File:Een stoomlocomotief met registratienummer C2413, Bestanddeelnr 15422.jpg|thumb|C24 13 in 1949]] The NIS received 15 units of their 2-6-2T, classified as NIS Class 270 (271–285) and came in two batches in 1909–1912. The NIS Class 270 were the most modern locomotives of the time, surpassing the capabilities of many NIS locomotives which were manufactured by Germans. These NIS 2-6-2Ts were the first [[Superheater|superheated]] engine, a split-teak wood burner, using ''[[Walschaerts valve gear|Walschaert]]'s'' steam flow systems and [[Belpaire firebox|Belpaire]] type firebox. The smokestack is equipped with dumper valve which could be opened using a motor servo connected to the driver's cabin. The temperature measurement in the firebox using a remote sensing pyrometer made by ''Steinle & Hartug'' and placed in the superheater box, while the dial could be read from the cabin. The cylinder engine lubrication system using an eight-joint system by Alex Friedmann from [[Vienna]], Austria. The brake systems could be said complicated at the time, using hand brake, steam cylinder brake, ''Exter'' type emergency brake and ''Riggenbach'' type rear pressure brake. These locomotives dominated the Temanggung–Parakan line along with the NIS Class 250 counterparts, they could also be operated on steep rack line between Jambu–Bedono–Gemawang that could only be passed by rack locomotive just like {{whyte|0-4-2|T}} NIS Class 230 (DKA B25). Apart from operating on those lines, NIS Class 270 also operated on the [[Semarang Tawang railway station|Semarang–]]Gundih to [[Surabaya Pasar Turi railway station|Surabaya]] lines. During [[Second World War]], the NIS Class 270 were renumbered as C24 by the Japanese and one unit of them was damaged during the war.<ref name=":0">{{Cite book |last=Oegema |first=J. J.

These SS 1700s were needed by SS to fulfil congested volume of passenger and freight traffics on mountain lines of [[West Java]], especially on [[Bandung railway station|Bandung–]][[Banjar railway station|Banjar]] line. SS forced to postpone the purchase of new locomotives from Europe for South and West Sumatra divisions due to [[Great Depression]] in 1929. As a result, 23 units were allocated to [[South Sumatra]] and 3 units to [[West Sumatra]].<ref name=":0" /> The SS 1700s were designated as universal locomotive, they could be used to work freight and passenger trains on both branch and main lines. In addition, these modern locomotives have 660 horsepower (hp) output could work on both flat and mountain lines, 10.796 mm long, have 1.350 mm driving wheels diameter and could gain speeds of 75 kilometres per hour (46.6 miles per hour).<ref>{{Cite book |last=Rozendaal |first=Jack |title=Steam and Rail in Indonesia |publisher=Paul Catchpole, Ltd |year=2000 |isbn=978-1-900340-11-3 |edition=1st}}</ref><ref name=":2">{{Cite web |last=Wilton Jones |first=Malcolm |title=Staatsspoorwegen |url=http://searail.malayanrailways.com/PJKA/Java%20State%20Railway/SS.htm |website=Asian Railways}}</ref> During Japanese occupation in 1942–1945, the SS 1700 were renumbered as C30 class and many of these locomotives were brought by them to [[Malay Peninsula]] and [[Mainland Southeast Asia|Indochina]] just like Singapore and Cambodia while 3 units of them were moved to Muaro–Pekanbaru death railway line in [[Sumatra]]. Furthermore, those to which Japanese transferred abroad had been re-gauged to [[Narrow-gauge railway|1,000 mm]], and most of them had been scrapped after the war ended.<ref name=":2" /> Currently, only C3065 and C3082 are on display at Transportation Museum of [[Taman Mini Indonesia Indah]] and [[Lubuklinggau]].<ref name=":1" /> While a locomotive that is also suspected of being a C30 class was also found as a monument in front of a pagoda in [[Phnom Penh]], [[Cambodia]] in a derelict condition.
