BNB VIb

what is it?

The BNB VIb (six-B) was a class of two branch line tank locomotives of the Bohemian Northern Railway Company (Böhmische Nordbahn-Gesellschaft) for use on the Česká Lípa–Kamenický Šenov railway line. They later passed to the Imperial Austrian State Railways, who classified them as kkStB 265. The two locomotives were built in Prague in 1907 by the Erste Böhmisch-Mährische Maschinenfabrik (later part of ČKD).
