Description

These engines were the first Type Hall unites built by Maffei. In addition they had an eccentric crank of the Hall type. This was partly external and partly internal, a feature of engines in Bavaria and the Palatinate. The boiler was entirely dome-less and had a semi-circular outer firebox above. They were equipped with Type 3 T 6 tenders.
