The Saxon Class IIIb was a twin-coupled tender locomotive built for passenger services with the Royal Saxon State Railways.
Following the success with the compound locomotives of Class VIb V, corresponding locomotives were procured for hauling passenger trains. Based on the design of the Saxon IIIb the Saxon Engineering Works (Sächsische Maschinenfabrik) built a compound engine. In the years 1889 and 1892 a total of 18 units of the IIIb V were built for passenger train duties. Because the engines apparently did not prove themselves, no further orders were placed.
In 1920, the Deutsche Reichsbahn took over some of the locomotives, but only two remaining engines were included in the new numbering scheme in 1924: numbers 34 7901 and 34 7902.
The locomotives had a boiler made from three shell rings with a semi-circular cover which, in the area of the firebox, was tucked in it between the frame plates. The boiler was fed by two non-sucking injectors.
The steam engine was designed as a twin-cylinder compound engine with interior Allan valve gear. The high-pressure cylinder was placed on the right, the larger, low-pressure cylinder on the left. They drove the second coupled axle.
The driving axles were fixed in the frame, the leading carrying wheels were designed as a Novotny-Klien axle.
The locomotives left the factory equipped with Schleifer compressed air brakes; these only braked the engine, however. Later, all the locomotives were fitted with Westinghouse air brakes. The locomotiven were coupled to tenders of Saxon Class sä 3 T 9.
The locomotive Saxonia was operated by the Leipzig–Dresden Railway Company and was the first practical working steam locomotive built in Germany. Its name means Saxony in Latin.
The German Class 99.73-76 engines were standard locomotives (Einheitslokomotiven) in service with the Deutsche Reichsbahn for Saxony's narrow gauge railways. Together with their follow-on class, the DR Class 99.77-79, they were the most powerful narrow gauge locomotives in Germany for the 750 mm track gauge.
The Saxon Class XVIII was a German six-coupled tender locomotive built for the Royal Saxon State Railways in 1917/18 for express train services. The Deutsche Reichsbahn grouped them in 1925 into DRG Class 18.0.
The Saxon Class XX were German eight-coupled express train, tender locomotives built for the Royal Saxon State Railways just after the First World War. The locomotives, which became known as the 'Pride of Saxony' (Sachsenstolz) were the first and only German express locomotives with a 2-8-2 wheel arrangement and, at the time of their appearance, were the largest express engines in the whole of Europe. In 1925, the Deutsche Reichsbahn grouped these locomotive into their DRG Class 19.0.
The Prussian Class S 10 included all express train locomotives in the Prussian state railways that had a 4-6-0 wheel arrangement. There were four sub-classes: the S 10, S 10.1 and S 10.2.
The Saxon Class XIV T locomotives were six-coupled tank engines operated by the Royal Saxon State Railways for mixed duties on main and branch lines. In 1925, the Deutsche Reichsbahn grouped them into their DRG Class 75.5.
The Saxon Class XV T was a class of goods train steam locomotive operated by the Royal Saxon State Railways, which had been conceived for hauling trains and acting as banking engines for routes in the Ore Mountains. In 1925 the Deutsche Reichsbahn grouped them into their DRG Class 79.0.
The Saxon Class V K were German 0-8-0T narrow gauge steam locomotives operated by the Royal Saxon State Railways which had been primarily intended for the Müglitztalbahn. In 1925 the Deutsche Reichsbahn incorporated arranged these locomotives as DRG Class 99.61.
The Royal Saxon State Railways designated four-coupled, Atlantic (4-4-2) express locomotives as Class X and the Deutsche Reichsbahn subsequently grouped these locomotives into DRG Class 14.2 in 1925.
The EDWARD BURY to PFEIL series of early German locomotives were tender engines operated by the Leipzig–Dresden Railway Company.
The locomotives WURZEN and OSCHATZ were early German steam engines operated by the Leipzig–Dresden Railway Company (LDE) for mixed duties. They were tender locomotives.
The ELBE to HAYN series of early, German, steam locomotives were equipped with tenders and operated by the Leipzig–Dresden Railway Company.
The RICHARD HARTMANN to ZWICKAU series of early German locomotives were express train tender locomotives operated by the Leipzig–Dresden Railway Company.
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.
The Saxon Class VII T were twin-coupled tank engines of the Royal Saxon State Railways designed for branch line (Sekundärbahn) operations. In 1925, the Deutsche Reichsbahn grouped these locomotives 1925 into their Class 98.70.
The Saxon Class VIII 2 was a twin-coupled tender locomotive procured for passenger services by the Royal Saxon State Railways. In 1925, the Deutsche Reichsbahn grouped these engines into their Class 36.9-10.
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 Saxon class I T were a class of 19 German 0-4-4-0 Meyer tank locomotives built for the Royal Saxon State Railways for service of the Windbergbahn. The Deutsche Reichsbahn assigned them to Class 98.0.
The Saxon class M I T was a class of two German 0-4-4-0 Meyer tank locomotives built for the Royal Saxon State Railways
The Saxon III K were a class of six 0-6-2T locomotives of the Royal Saxon State Railways with a track gauge of 750 mm. In 1925, the Deutsche Reichsbahn grouped these locomotives into their DRG Class 99.754.
