The Württemberg C-Class
The Class C locomotives of the Royal Württemberg State Railways were express train locomotives with the wheel arrangement 2'C1 '(Pacific).
The appearance of the locomotive is relatively unusual for German locomotives. Conspicuous are the outer subframe to support the sheet metal frame with the underlying wheel arches for the coupling axles and aerodynamically shaped cab. The conical smoke chamber door also supported the streamlined impression. The locomotive was also called "The beautiful Württembergerin".

The locomotives were, although they were among the smallest machines of the type 2'C1 ', economical and at the same time very powerful.
