0-6-0 Steam Locomotives in Germany

Class Borbeck (Locobase 21155)

Data from "Hohenzollern Typ Borbeck" in Wikipedia at [], last accessed 1 October 2023. Works numbers were 3942 in 1919, 4289-4291 in 1923, 4419-4421 in 1924, 4480-4482 in 1925, 4537 in 1928, and 4538-4539 in 1929.

Wikipedia explained that this was the six-coupled variant of a standard series of industrial locomotives that also included a 100-hp 0-4-0T and an 800-hp 0-8-0T. Borbecks served as light shunters on industrial railways, which required good tractive effort and low maintenance demands.

Hohenzollern produced its last Borbeck in 1929 and Krupp picked up the design with the result shown in Locobase 15586 Most of the class remained in service into the 1970s.

Class Hannibal (Locobase 21154)

Data from "Krupp Hannibal Vorkriegsausführung" in Wikipedia at [] and Krupp Hannibal Nachkriegsausführung" [], goth last accessed 1 October 2023.

Locobase 15586 shows the post-war, nassdampf (saturated) boiler variant of this Krupp industrial tank locomotive design as produced by SACM. This entry describes the original Hannibal design, which it developed out of Hohenzollern's Borbeck six-coupled tank of 1919.

24 prewar deliveries all came with superheaters--their data are shown in this entry. Once World War II began, the builder assigned Hannibal production first to Czechoslovakia's CKD in 1942 and later to SACM.

Post-war production of 31 superheated locomotives by Krupp essentially repeated the earlier design. 20 entered service in 1949, 6 more arrived in1953, and 5 more in 1961.
