Rinteln Stadthagener 0-8-0 Locomotives in Germany
Class Details by Steve Llanso of Sweat House Media
Class 12 (Locobase 4936)
Data from the Hildesheim Peine Kreiseisenbahn (HPKE) website [
] (Dec 2001).
he RS ran this 4-coupled tank (works #21273) from 1929-1960. Most of the rest of its career, the engine ran on the metals of the Braunschweig Schoeninger, except for a 2-year stint with the HPKE (1963-1965), where it bore the number 192.
The BSE retired the engine in 1970.
