Prussian T 0
The genus T 0 of the Prussian state railways were small bus - tank locomotives with only one driven axle . It was developed by machine master August von Borries together with the Hanover Railway Directorate for local rail traffic .

In 1880, the Hanover Directorate of the Prussian State Railways put four small tank locomotives with a luggage compartment with a 1A wheel arrangement into service that had been built by Schichau . Two of them were of normal twin design. With the other two, August von Borries carried out the composite effect of double steam expansion in Prussia for the first time . The locomotives were designed as baggage locomotives in order to save on the baggage car , but this turned out to be impractical due to the small capacity. All four locomotives were used in branch line traffic in the Hanover area. The composite locomotives proved to be significantly more economical in terms of coal consumption.
The locomotives were retired and sold between 1897 and 1900.

As a further development of the first omnibus locomotives, Henschel delivered another ten locomotives of this type in composite design , but this time without a baggage compartment, to the Hanover Directorate of the Prussian State Railways . The vehicles were used in the Hanover area and in Northeim . When they were redesigned in 1906, they were given the track numbers T 0 Hannover 6001–6008 and Cassel 6001 and 6002.
The T 0 without a luggage compartment were retired by 1922. One example can still be seen today in the German Museum of Technology in Berlin as "Hanover 1907".
