Class T0 - Henschel (Locobase 20241)

Data from [link], last accessed 6 August 2017. See also the Deutches Technikmuseum online entry at [link].

If the Schichau-produced pair of four-wheeler (Locobase 6340) resembled a gasoline-powered baggage van in 1880, these Henschels anticipated a coupe. Its von Borries cross-compound power system had grown as the designer explored the proper compounding ratio and just how readily the idea's potential could be scaled up.

The Henschels served local traffic made up with a low trailing load. The engines were capable of 60 kph (37 mph).

Perhaps surprisingly, the T0s lasted into the 20th century with the last being retired in 1922. Moreover, one of them was preserved in a museum.
