Kleinbahn Lindenberg-Pritzwalk 0-6-0 Locomotives in Germany


Class Details by Steve Llanso of Sweat House Media

Class 21 / BR 99 4504 (Locobase 8542)

Data from [link], accessed 7 July 2007, supplement by [link], last accessed 14 May 2011.

One of the O & K standard 6-coupleds had several variations of cylinder volume to go under a common boiler design. 8538 shows the 1908 version with a longer stroke; this variant is smaller and lighter (and older). Both arrived on the KLP in 1906. 21 (works #2087) was dubbed HEINZ and 22 (works #2129) bore the name D+RFEL.

HEINZ was turned over to the Soviet Union in 1945 as a war reparation. D+RFEL was given a DDR DRG number in 1949, but it operated on the same tracks for all 60 years before its retirement in 1966.
