Württemberg T 4
The T 4 of the Royal Württemberg State Railways were trailing axle loose freight train tender locomotives with four coupled axles.
As the locomotives of Class T 3 were no longer sufficient for pusher service on the Geislingen, we developed a locomotive which should provide twice the performance. As for the service on the slope distance not more locomotives were needed, it remained at eight copies, five of which were delivered in 1906 and three in 1909. They were, in their time as the heaviest quadruple -coupled locomotives in Germany.
In the construction of the boiler had placed particular emphasis on a large steam room and a deep blanket of the firebox so that a Nachschiebevorgang without desserts could be terminated by water, which would have led to a lowering of the boiler pressure and thus to a decrease in performance.
To protect the tire and brake pads at the downhill, the locomotives were equipped with Riggenbach counter-pressure brake.
The German Reichsbahn took over in 1925, all eight locomotives and classified them as Class 92.1 in their number plan. After the Second World War they came to the German Federal Railways, where they were retired in 1946-1948 and sold as factory locomotives.
