The prototype: The DR 99 1789-9 in Era IV

The 99 1789-9 is a narrow gauge steam locomotive that was in service in Era IV. The narrow-gauge railroads played an important role in local transportation and were often the only connection to remote regions. In the former GDR in particular, the Deutsche Reichsbahn (DR) relied on narrow-gauge locomotives to maintain operations on the winding and steep lines. These locomotives, which generally ran on a track gauge of 750 mm, were known for their reliability and their ability to cope with difficult track profiles.

The history of narrow-gauge railroads in Germany dates back to 1881, when the Royal Saxon State Railway (K.Sä.Sts.B.) opened the first of a total of 30 narrow-gauge railroads. These railroads were primarily intended to open up rural regions and were often particularly challenging due to the terrain. The locomotives used on these lines had to be particularly robust and powerful. The DR's VI K and VII K series represented the technical pinnacle of this development and were used until the 1970s.
