The Belgian State Railways Type 10, later known as the NMBS/SNCB Type 10, was a class of 4-6-2 steam locomotives built between 1910 and 1914.
The class was used to work express trains operated by the Belgian State Railways and its successor, the National Railway Company of Belgium (NMBS/SNCB), which was established in 1926.
The locomotives were noteworthy for their unusually short boiler, which ended behind all four cylinders. This was due to the class sharing the boiler design with a 2-10-0 freight design, and the 2-10-0's weight limitations determined the length of the boiler.
One member of the class, no. 10.018, has been preserved by the NMBS/SNCB for display at Train World, the Belgian national railway museum.
