The steam locomotives of type B X of the Royal Bavarian State Railroad were express locomotives built in Bavaria from 1890 .

description

The vehicles had an inner frame, the cylinders were behind the barrel axis, and the steam inlet pipes ran in front of the boiler. They had a leading Krauss-Helmholtz steering frame and Heusinger control , the compound engine was designed with a Lindner start-up valve. The center of the boiler was 2,165 mm above the top of the rail. Twelve machines were delivered with compound engines, two with simple twin engines, but these were also converted to compound action in 1896. All vehicles were taken over by the Deutsche Reichsbahn and retired between 1922 and 1924. According to the preliminary redesignation plan from 1923, the road numbers 34 7501 to 7513 were provided for the still existing B X. The vehicles were no longer included in the final redesignation plan. The vehicles were coupled with bay 3 T 12 tenders .
