Döllnitzbahn
The Döllnitzbahn GmbH is a private railway company in Saxony in eastern Germany. It is the operator of the Oschatz–Mügeln–Kemmlitz/Glossen narrow gauge line in central Saxony. History In November 1993 the newly founded ''Döllnitzbahn GmbH'' took over the remaining lines of the Mügeln railway network between Oschatz, Mügeln and Kemmlitz. The primary aim of the company was initially the preservation of the remaining goods traffic from the kaolin mine at Kemmlitz. For that purpose used narrow gauge goods wagons were bought from the Mansfeld mining railway and a new transshipment site to the standard gauge railway network was built in Oschatz. With the help of used Polskie Koleje Państwowe, PKP diesel locomotives, they succeeded initially in keeping the goods traffic going. In spite of this, the demand gradually fell so that goods services had to be closed in 2001. The ''Döllnitzbahn'' was the last narrow gauge railway in Saxony to run public freight services.

Saxon IV K
The Saxon IV K were narrow gauge, Günther-Meyer type steam engines built for the Royal Saxon State Railways with a track gauge of . A total of 96 were built between 1892 and 1921, making the Saxon IV K the most numerous narrow gauge locomotive in Germany. In 1925 the Deutsche Reichsbahn grouped these engines into their DRG Class 99.51–60. History As a result of the constantly rising traffic on the Saxon narrow gauge railways towards the end of the 19th century, the power of the existing Saxon I K and III K soon proved insufficient. So the Sächsische Maschinenfabrik developed an engine with eight coupled wheels and which had a larger boiler and adhesive weight. Unlike its predecessors, it was given two driven bogies in order to be able to cope with winding routes despite its length. Between 1892 and 1921 a total of 96 locomotives were built with running numbers 103 to 198. To begin with they were designated as class H M T K V, which meant that they were locomotives built ...

LKM Type Ns4
Steam traction was the predominant form of motive power used by the Deutsche Reichsbahn (East Germany), Deutsche Reichsbahn on its narrow-gauge railways. For certain duties diesel locomotives were also used, albeit these were usually second-hand or rebuilt engines. Locomotives with a gauge of were classified as Kö 6001ff. and locomotives as Kö 6501ff.. From 1970 they were incorporated into Class ''100'' without regard to their gauge. This applied to all ''Kleinlokomotiven'' and they were given serial numbers from 901ff.. Due to the risk of confusion, in 1973 the narrow-gauge diesel locomotives were reclassified to 199. In addition, from 1992 they became DBAG Class 399; and once more the gauge was deducible from the serial number as follows: = 399.1, = 399.6, = 399.7. 1949–1970 Heeresfeldbahnlokomotive HF 130 C Two former three-axled ''Heeresfeldbahnlokomotive, Heeresfeldbahnloks'' of Type HF 130 C were refurbished by the DR for various narrow-gauge lines. ...
