This locomotive was actually built by Krauss ( NOT Maffei) for the Bödelibahn as their No. 3 ‘ZEPHIR’, based in Interlaken.

It was operational at the last 150th Swiss Railways celebrations in June 1997, as depicted here at Denges Triage outside Lausanne.

SJ (BKB) 4-4-0T No. 4006 (19)Posted by: Dale W Fickés on Jan 11, 2022 @ 05:01:42
It would be more appropriate (for the majority of European observers at least) to record the gauge as 1067mm. The locomotive was built for the Västra Bleckinge Railway (WBIJ) as their No. 19 (rather than 18) and in 1905 it became Bleckinge Kustbanor (BKB), also as No. 19. The railway was taken over by the SJ in 1949 and re-classified it as W4t 4006, as it remains in preservation.

The company was taken over by the SJ around 1941 and it became their Class S2p No. 3037, whose identity it retains. It was originally preserved on static display in a Kalmar public park.
JTJ (Vintjärn Ág Hinsen Railway) 0-6-2WT No. 2 'KORSÅN'Posted by: Dale W Fickés on Jan 11, 2022 @ 03:01:28
