The steam locomotives "JUPITER" , "GIGANT" , "CONCORDIA" and "BRUNA" were passenger locomotives of the KFNB . They were ordered from the Stephenson locomotive factory and were slightly stronger than the " VINDOBONA ". The locomotives were delivered in 1838 with the same dimensions and had the axle formula  1A1. The cylinders were arranged under the smoke chamber and drove the cranked second axle. In Austria, the machines have been modified over the years in such a way that they ultimately differ significantly from one another.

The four locomotives were parked between 1850 and 1855 and retired in 1856 and 1861 ("JUPITER").
