War Railways 0-8-0 Locomotives in Germany
Class Details by Steve Llanso of Sweat House Media
Class KDL 6 (Locobase 6204)
Data from [
] (5 July 2004).
This widely used industrial locomotive appears on the Belgian site without a driver diameter. The figure in the specifications is estimated based on several other postwar 0-8-0Ts of similar size and track gauge. The tube diameter is estimated given the same conditions.
