LAG 0-6-2 Locomotives in Germany


Class Details by Steve Llanso of Sweat House Media

Class K34.5 / 99 251 (Locobase 6533)

Data from Christian Lindecke's [link] (visited 27 May 2005), supplemented by [link], last accessed 12 May 2011.

This is one of the few locomotives in Locobase with "over-square" cylinder dimensions; i.e., where the cylinder diameter is greater than its stroke). Krauss delivered all three, the first (works 4823) in 1902, the second (5173) two years later, and the last (5929) in 1908.
