The steam locomotive k.uk FB 4 was a narrow gauge - tank locomotive of the imperial army railways of Austria .
This small locomotive with 700 mm gauge was manufactured by Krauss in Linz in 1902. During the trial run of the Heeresfeldbahnen at the practice area in Korneuburg, it turned out that the vehicle had poor cornering and deformed the tracks in the arches. Therefore, no machines of this type were reordered.
The locomotive came to the Bystričany – Uhlište – Ráztoky – Bystričanska dolina forest railway in 1905, after which there are no further tracks.
