Saxon XVI T
In the genera T XVI or XVI T were double locomotives of the Royal Saxon State Railways arranged, which through a conversion from locomotives of the genera VII TS (VII TSV) and VII TOV arose.
history
Around the First World War , traffic on the Saxon secondary railways had increased to such an extent that double skins were increasingly required. Therefore - similar to the practice of coupling two narrow-gauge locomotives from class IK to class II K - the driver's cab ends were removed from each of two locomotives and connected to form a double locomotive.
This conversion of the vehicles must have been due to the conditions in the war, because it was known that such double locomotives could hardly represent a full replacement for four-coupled locomotives; if the impression from the few surviving photos were correct, that these machines were also manned by four men, they could not have contributed to the relaxation of the personnel situation. The locomotives were retired by 1923.
