Nordhausen-Wernigerode Eisenbahn 2-6-2 Locomotives in Germany
Class Details by Steve Llanso of Sweat House Media
Class K35.10 / BR 99 6001 (Locobase 3788)
Data from [
], supplemented by [], last accessed on 12 May 2011.
Accroding to [], this Prairie tank was originally built as a prototype for the NWE. The intervention of World War II and the consequent change in priorities that this engine did not go into series production.
[] (confirmed 3 May 2003) shows the engine as it operated in the 1990s and later on the HSB, the successor to the East German narrow-gauge system.
