Bavarian B I

built by Unknown builder

what is it?

Bavarian B I engines were 2-4-0 steam locomotives of the Royal Bavarian State Railways (Königlich Bayerische Staatsbahn). The Class B I was developed in parallel with the Class A II, but had a coupled axle instead of a second carrying axle. As a result, it developed a higher tractive effort.
