The Prototype:
This compact and powerful locomotive was built by the Krupp Locomotive Works in 1939 as a
prototype for a standardized narrow gauge locomotive. It used superheated steam to pull trains
weighing up to 80 metric tons (88 U.S. tons) up a 3% grade. However, World War II intervened, and
no further locomotives were built to this design. The loco went to the Nordhausen Wernigeroder Eisenbahn (NWE),
a meter-gauge line that linked the towns in the deep valleys and picturesque mountains of the Harz
region. After 1949, the NWE was incorporated into the Deutsche Reichsbahn (DR), and the loco
became DR 996001. Today, the loco still operates in the Harz on the Selketalbahn line.
