The NStB - Sedletz bis Hohenmauth were the first steam locomotives of the Imperial and Royal Northern State Railways (NStB) of Austria-Hungary .
The six locomotives were delivered by the Wiener Neustädter Lokomotivfabrik in 1842. These vehicles were the first locomotives to be built by the Wiener Neustädter Lokomotivfabrik, with the boilers being manufactured in the Sessler ironworks in Krieglach . Iron and metal casting was also commissioned from outside foundries. The copper heating pipes were made by a Wiener Neustädter coppersmith.
The Wiener Neustädter Lokomotivfabrik admits in its memorandum on the occasion of the 4,000th locomotive produced that “with such modest resources” these machines “did not achieve a thoroughgoing success”.
The NStB gave them the names SEDLETZ , FLORENZ , PLASS , CAROLINENTHAL , HOHENSTADT and HOHENMAUTH and the company numbers 1–6.
They were modeled on the 2A locomotives from William Norris in Philadelphia .
When the NStB was sold to the Staats-Eisenbahn-Gesellschaft (StEG), a private Austrian-Hungarian railway company, in 1855 , the machines were given company numbers 2-7. They were retired before 1873.
