Harzer Schmalspur Bahnen 0-6-0 Locomotives in Germany


Class Details by Steve Llanso of Sweat House Media

Class K33.8 / 99 5811 (Locobase 3785)

Data from [link] number was 2227, according to [link] databank of German locomotives.

Later locomotives of the same design included eight that were produced in a batch numbered 5099-5106 in 1899. These went to the Nassaui Kleinbahn AG that operated three metre-gauge lines in the Rhineland-Palatinate. Headquartered in the Palatinate town of Nastatten, the lines branched out to the West and South. See the German Wikipedia article at [link] ... (accessed 24 May 2006). Retirements for the eight engines came over many years as follows:

7 1927

1 1935

5 1946

4 & 6 1951

3 1957

8 1959

2 1960
