Ex Austrian Südbahn class 29 No. 680, a 0-6-0 at the Berlin Technical Museum on 17 June 1999. These locos were built to the design of Scotsman John Haswell, then chief mechanical engineer at the State Loco works (StEG) Vienna in the 1860s. After retirement from the Südbahn a number were purchased by the privately owned Graz-Koflacher Bahn (GKB) and remained in use into the 1960s. Three others are preserved in Graz, Vienna, and Budapest.
