The Grand Duchy of Mecklenburg Friedrich-Franz Railway grouped early, 2-4-0 , passenger train locomotives from the Friedrich-Franz Railway into its Class III.
When the Güstrow-Neubrandenburg line went into service, it was essential that locomotives were procured that could cope with the inclines in Mecklenburg Switzerland without difficulty. The existing 2-2-2 locomotives of what later became classes I and II were not powerful enough.
To that end the Friedrich-Franz Railway bought 19 2-4-0 locomotives from Richard Hartmann in Chemnitz in 3 batches in the years 1864, 1866 and 1869. The locomotives were named after north German towns. Two engines were given the names ZWEIHUNDERT ("two hundred") and VIER HUNDERT ("four hundred") based on their factory numbers. The locomotives remained in service until after the turn of the 20th century and were retired between 1903 and 1911.
The locomotives had an inside forked frame. The boiler barrel had three shells. On the centre one there was a large steam dome, which was as tall as the short cylindrical smokestack. The steam dome was decorated with brass bands. The vertical boiler had a safety valve on top.
The twin-cylinder wet steam engine was on the outside. The steam chests and the Stephenson valve gear were on the inside. The cylinders, which were set horizontally, drove the first coupled axle.
The coupled axles had overhung springing using leaf springs. An equalising beam, level with the axle boxes, linked the two springs. On the final batch of 1869 the springs were located underneath the axle boxes of the coupled wheels. On the carrying axle the springs were above the frame.
The locomotives had a Schleifer compressed air brake. The sandboxes were in front of the first driving axle and sanded the wheels from in front.
The engines were equipped with tenders of class 3T 7.9.
The GWR 4100 Class was a class of steam locomotives in the Great Western Railway (GWR) of the United Kingdom.
The Dean Single, 3031 Class, or Achilles Class was a type of steam locomotive built by the British Great Western Railway between 1891 and 1899. They were designed by William Dean for passenger work. The first 30 members of the class were built as 2-2-2s of the 3001 Class.
The Grand Duchy of Mecklenburg Friedrich-Franz Railway grouped two, narrow gauge, steam locomotives taken over from the Doberan-Heiligendamm railway into the Mecklenburg XVIII engine class.
The Prussian Class T 3 steam locomotives procured for the Prussian state railways were 0-6-0 tank locomotives. Together with the Prussian T 2 they were the first locomotives that were built to railway norms. The first units were delivered by Henschel in 1882.
The steam locomotives of Baden Class IV c were passenger locomotives operated by Grand Duchy of Baden State Railway in the former south German state of Baden.
The Saxon VI were a class of early German, express train, steam locomotives operated by the Royal Saxon State Railways.
The engines of Baden Class I b were very early German steam locomotives built for the Grand Duchy of Baden State Railways.
The Grand Duchy of Mecklenburg Friedrich-Franz Railway grouped the various 2-2-2 steam locomotives procured between 1848 and 1863 into its Mecklenburg Class I.
The Mecklenburg Class G 2, formerly Class VIII, were goods train locomotives with the Grand Duchy of Mecklenburg Friedrich-Franz Railway. They were built for the route between Güstrow and Neubrandenburg with its steep inclines.
The South African Railways Class 19D 4-8-2 of 1937 was a steam locomotive.
The South African Railways Class 12A 4-8-2 of 1919 was a steam locomotive.
The South African Railways Class 5 4-6-2 of 1912 was a steam locomotive.
The ČSD Class 387.0 were 4-6-2 express passenger steam locomotives operated by the Czechoslovak State Railways between 1926 and 1974. Forty-three of these 2,100-horsepower (1,570 kW) pacific locomotives were built by the Škoda Works, Plzeň in five series between 1926 and 1937, intended for the heaviest long-distance express trains.
The South African Railways Class GA 2-6-0+0-6-2 of 1921 was an articulated steam locomotive.
The locomotives of Class XIX of the Grand Duchy of Mecklenburg Friedrich-Franz Railway were deployed on the Bad Doberan–Heiligendamm narrow-gauge. The triple-coupled engines were classified as T 7 locomotives in 1910. In 1911 they were transferred to the Neubukow Beet Railway.
The Grand Duchy of Mecklenburg Friedrich-Franz Railway grouped various 2-4-0 steam locomotives built between 1849 and 1856 into its Class II. These included five locomotives that had originally been delivered with a 2-2-2 wheel arrangement.
The MÁV class 601 is a class of Hungarian four cylinder Mallet -type locomotives, which was designed to haul long and very heavy cargo on very steep railway tracks. With their 22.5 meter length and 2200 KW power, they were the largest and most powerful steam locomotives which have ever built before the First World War in Europe.
The Saxon Class V was a triple-coupled, goods train, tender locomotive operated by the Royal Saxon State Railways. In 1925, the Deutsche Reichsbahn regrouped the locomotives 25 into their DRG Class 53.6–7.
The class IV f locomotives of the Grand Duchy of Baden State Railway were express locomotives with a 4-6-2 (Pacific) wheel arrangement. They later passed to the Deutsche Reichsbahn, who classified them as class 18.2. These were the first Pacific locomotives in Germany and the second in Europe after the Paris-Orléans Railway 4500-series that had appeared a few months earlier.
The Prussian G 7.2 was a class of 0-8-0 tender compound locomotives of the Prussian state railways. In the 1925 Deutschen Reichsbahn renumbering plan, the former Prussian locomotives produced from 1895 to 1911 were given the class designation 55.7–13; while the former Grand Duchy of Mecklenburg Friedrich-Franz Railway locomotives were classified as 55.57.
