Mecklenburg / Mecklenburg State Railways 0-6-0 Locomotives in Germany
Class Details by Steve Llanso of Sweat House Media
Class T 7 / 99 30 (Locobase 6536)
Data from Christian Lindecke's [
] (visited 27 May 2005), supplemented by [], last accessed on 12 May 2011. Delivered in 1910 (works #9845), 1911 (10699), and 1914 (12884).
Tiny locomotive with a light footprint running on a relatively unusual gauge.
Class T3a & T3b / BR 89.80 (Locobase 5741)
Data from [], last accessed on 14 May 2011.
Virtually identical to the KPEV (Prussian) T3s, this class began entering service on the Mecklenburg Friedrich Franz Eisenbahn (MFFE) in 1884. The design took two forms, differing primarily in a larger wheel diameter (1,150 mm/45.3") in the T3b. One other difference, according to the home.t-online.de/home/05820678-0001 website (visited 10 September 2002), was in its steam regulator. The T3a had a small housing for the regulator only just behind the stack, while the T3b had a larger steam dome a little farther back along the dome.
When the Deutsche Reichsbahn (DRG) was formed in 1925 and all locomotives received numerical class IDs, the MFFE T-3s (then designated Gt33.10/11) became BauReihe (BR) 89.80.
