Class Details by Steve Llanso of Sweat House Media

Class 1G / 78.10 (Locobase 4661)

Data from [], data accessed 13 August 2006.

Named MAFFERSDORF and PROSCHWITZ (which Google charmingly translates as "PRO-SWEAT"), these resembled the kkStB's 478 class while the dimensions resembled those of the ONWB's XV class (Locobase 7780). When the CSD took them over after World War One, they were reclassified 400.001-002 and ran until 1933.
