what is it?
The first class of steam locomotive to be designated the D II by the Royal Bavarian State Railways (Königlich Bayerische Staatsbahn) comprised small tank locomotives with two coupled axles. Because these engines were retired very early, from 1891 to 1898, their class number was reused for the six-coupled shunter introduced in 1898 and which later became the DRG Class 89.60. The original D II was the smallest standard gauge locomotive ever owned by the Bavarian State Railway.
