Tosstalbahn 0-4-0 Locomotives in Switzerland
Class Details by Steve Llanso of Sweat House Media
Class Wald (Locobase 5118)
[
] (August 2002) notes that this engine served the TB for 6 years, after which it moved to the Gotthardbahn. Although limited by its tiny wheels to 30 km/h (19 mph), the locomotive proved useful enough to stay with the GB until 1913.
