Class Details by Steve Llanso of Sweat House Media

Class K.33.6 / BR 99.46 (Locobase 8538)

Data from [link], accessed 7 July 2007 (link later changed to [link]).

Coming from Jung as works #110 to serve the BB kleinbahn in the Thuringer Wald in eastern Germany, this little tank later operated on the Trusebahn. When the East German Deutsche Reichsbahn was formed in the late 1940s, it was renumbered as shown.

Last running in regular service in 1962, it was withdrawn in 1965.
