Nassaui Kleinbahn AG 0-10-0 Locomotives in Germany
Class Details by Steve Llanso of Sweat House Media
Class 15 (II) (Locobase 7499)
Data from Paul Dorscheimer's website -- [
], accessed 22 May 2006. Works number was 11502 in 1951.
After World War II, the writing was on the wall for the NKAG, but the little werkbahn kept on for a while. This low-drivered design put more weight on the drivers without substantially increasing the axle loading over the six- and eight-coupleds that already served the Rhineland schmalspur. Possibly the "over-square" cylinders (piston stroke shorter than the diameter) allowed for operations around sharper curves.
It didn't operate long on that line, being sold to the Brotalbahn in April 1957, which ran the locomotive as III until October 1966.
