Bemo 3005815 Hilfspackwagen KD3i 165, Ep. III

In 1891, the first narrow-gauge train of the Königlich Württembergische Staats-Eisenbahnen (Royal Württemberg State Railways) steamed on meter gauge tracks from Nagold to Altensteig. In the following years, the K.W.St.E. opened the Bottwartalbahn Marbach-Heilbronn Süd, the Zabergäubahn Lauffen-Leonbronn and the two Upper Swabian railroads Schussenried-Riedlingen and Biberach-Ochsenhausen - all with a gauge of 750 mm. Initially, the K.W.St.E. relied on various steam locomotive designs with Klose engines. From 1898 to 1913, this was followed by the Tssd Mallet locomotives, also supplied by Maschinenfabrik Esslingen. These and a number of sä. VI K that were taken over from Saxony or rebuilt by the DRG dominated the scene for a long time. Even the five V51/V52 diesel locomotives for 750 mm or meter gauge delivered by Gmeinder in 1964 could not prevent the decline of the romantic railroads in Upper Swabia, the Neckar Valley and the Black Forest: Then, in the mid to late 1960s, came the end for the five Württemberg DB narrow gauge railroads; only freight service on the "Öchsle" remained until 1983. An attractive museum operation established itself on what was once the last DB narrow gauge railroad on the mainland.
