Bavarian - EichstStt-Stadt & EichstStt-Bahnhof 0-6-0 Locomotives in Germany
Class Details by Steve Llanso of Sweat House Media
Class LE / BR 99.07 (Locobase 9545)
Data from [
] (last accessed 1 September 2008).
These little tanks arrived in pairs and singles as demand increased. The first two served the original 5.2-km (3.2 mile) line beginning in 1885 and were joined by a third in 1892. A significant lengthening in the mid-1890s of 30 km prompted an order for two more.
They served the need for more than three decades, in the process acquiring a slightly larger boiler that is depicted in the specifications. Two were withdrawn before 1932. Conversion of the route to standard-gauge operation doomed the other three in 1935.
