History
To operate trains on the North East Dundas Tramway, the Tasmanian Government Railways purchased a locomotive from Maschinenfabrik Christian Hagans, Erfurt in 1901. The locomotive had an articulated 2-6-4-0 wheel arrangement. Its weight played havoc with the light rails it ran over and in 1910 it was replaced by the K class.[1][2][3]
