THE PROTOTYPE
The Königlich Sächsischen Staats -
eisen bahnen (Royal Saxonian State
Railways) operated more than 150
km (94 miles) of narrow-gauge
tracks to reach the mountainous
industrial regions of Saxonia in cen-
tral Germany. First attempts with
Fairlie and Klose locomotives failed,
but the articulated Meyer locomo-
tives were a great success. Starting
in 1892, 96 of these unusual loco-
motives were purchased, making
them the largest class of Meyer loco-
motives ever built. Both drivetrains
are articulated, with the exhaust
steam of the rear high pressure
cylin ders powering the front drive-
train. After the Saxonian railways
were incorporated into the Deutsche
Reichsbahn, the locomotives were
used on other narrow gauge lines,
too, for example, on the Baltic island
of Rügen. In the 1950s, 22 of the
loco motives were rebuilt extensively
at the Görlitz shops, where they
received new welded boilers, frames
and cylinders. Today, some of these
unusual locomotives operate on
museum railways.
