Class Details by Steve Llanso of Sweat House Media

Class Kh 111 / 499 (Locobase 4830)

Data from "BBÖ Kh" in Wikipedia at [link], last accessed 2 July 2024. See also See [link] (original link), later "Kh 111" on the Club 760 website at [link], last accessed 2 July 2024. Works number was 1519 in 1930.

Narrow-gauge tank engine built for the StLB's Wiez-Birkfeld-Ratten line coal trains. Max speed reached 25 kph (15.5 mph).

In 1943 she wasa exchanged for two U-class locomotives and moved to Murau where she worked until retirement. Club 760 bought her and sometime later she was added to the Frojach Museum's stud as a static-display engine..
