Mindener Kreisbahnen No. 11
Germany 1911 1 produced
When the two 0-6-2T locomotives No. 1 and 5 of the Mindener Kreisbahn (Minden County Light Railway) couldn't keep up with rising requirements in freight traffic, No. 11 was ordered from Jung. This one was a 0-8-2T where the first driving axle was movable to both sides by 18 mm to ensure smooth running on the metre-gauge line. It had two side tanks and a third one between the frames.
It was used by the MKB until 1936 when the tracks were converted to standard gauge. The 11 was now sold to the Sylter Inselbahn, where it only lasted eleven years. In the following years it got multiple new owners, of which the last one was the Hessische Landesbahn. They used it on the line between Giessen and Bieber and retired it in 1963.
