The Class 745 was a class of 2-8-0 Consolidation steam locomotives of the Italian State Railways, designed for the curving Salerno to Reggio di Calabria line, where old structures allowed an axle load of only 14.4 tonnes. Designers chose eight coupled wheels and a large boiler, with 1,630 mm driving wheels like the Class 625, the Italian bogie, and an unusual layout of two inside cylinders with outside steam chests and valve gear to save weight. The cramped arrangement made the bearings run hot. Gio. Ansaldo & C. and Ernesto Breda built the first twelve in 1913 and 1914, Ansaldo another 36 in 1919, and the two firms a final 25 in 1922 and 1923. The engines were scrapped by the mid-1960s and none survive.
