what is it?
The Palatine T 4II was a class of saturated steam, tank locomotives operated by the Palatinate Railway. They were to a large extent identical to the Class D XI from Bavaria, but the grate area and diameters of the carrying and coupled wheels were smaller. The rear coupled axle was housed in a Krauss-Helmholtz bogie, and the coal tanks were behind the driver's cab.
