Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online.

The Bavarian Class D VI were German 0-4-0 steam locomotives of the Royal Bavarian State Railways.

Maffei supplied the first 30 locomotives from 1880 to 1883, and Krauss delivered a further 23 up to 1894.

For the first time on Bavarian locomotives, running plates and Hardy vacuum brakes were installed on these saturated-steam engines.

Several examples had gangways as well. An unusual feature was the location of the sandbox under the running plate between the coupled axles.

They had slide valves on top and outside Stephenson link motion.
