Bavarian State 0-4-6 Locomotives in Germany
Class Details by Steve Llanso of Sweat House Media
Class Phonix (Locobase 5917)
Data from Christian Lindecke's website [
] (visited 28 November 2003) (translated by Google). A failure that did not rise again. The Google translation is a little sketchy on some details, but apparently the locomotive was laid out with the boiler poised over the two couple axles and the firebox supported by a tender with a frame that extended well forward.
