KFNB Comet II

The locomotive factory Sigl in Vienna delivered in 1862 five of them two-cylinder - wet steam -Lokomotiven with the axle formula  1A1 to the KFNB. The machines had the names RAKETE " , BLITZ" , KOMET " , VESTA" and NEPTUN " , at first only numbers, were designated as series IVa from 1869 and as series Ia from 1881. The locomotives had external frames, Hall cranks and an inefficient boiler .

After the global economic crisis ( Gründerkrach ) in 1873, the machines were used in passenger train service. But they weren't suitable for that. For this reason, they were converted into locomotives with the axle formula 1B from 1882–1883 ​​and then referred to as series IIb 1 .

The KOMET " came after the nationalization of KFNB 1906 nor to the Imperial Austrian State Railways (kkStB), in which it the number 407 was formed. It was taken out of the 1913th
