Wurttembergische 0-8-0 Locomotives in Germany

Class T4 / BR 92.1 (Locobase 5830)

Christian Lindecke [] (visited 28 November 2003) for data, supplemented by [], last accessed 14 May 2011. Works numbers included 3370 in 1907 to 3523 in 1909.

Lindecke describes these as among the most efficient of their wheel arrangement in their time. He notes the relatively tall drivers.

Once the DRG absorbed all eight as BR 92 101-108, the engines served for decades more, through World War II, only being taken out of mainline service in 1946-1948.

Class T6 / BR 92.0 (Locobase 6351)

Locobase's translation of the German infers that these were follow-ons to the T4s, but with significant changes: the boiler was superheated to high degree, the cylinder diameter dropped as did the driver diameter. Their tonnage rating was 320 tons up a 1/2% grade at 40 km/h (28 mph). Gieseler's data shows that the tube and flue count was way out of the ordinary; given that all but 4 are described as flues, Locobase infers a fully superheated boiler

When World War I ended, one of the class was passed along to France as a war reparation. The others were grouped into the DRG's BauReihe 92 0 class. Ten survived World War II and the last was withdrawn in 1948.
