Nord 2.231 à 2.305 were suburban
4-4-4T locomotives of the Chemins de Fer du Nord.[1] They were nicknamed "Revolver" due to the appearance of the high-pitched small diameter boilers next to the low water tanks and cabs,
The locomotives were built in three batches at the Nord's two workshops at La Chapelle, Paris and Hellemmes, Lille.
