The NStB - Kulm and Bilin were steam locomotives of the Imperial and Royal Northern State Railways (NStB) of Austria-Hungary .

The two locomotives were delivered by Kessler in Karlsruhe in 1850. They were given the names KULM and BILIN as well as the company numbers 97–98.

When the NStB was sold to the Staats-Eisenbahn-Gesellschaft (StEG) in 1855 , the machines were initially given the company numbers 348-349. From 1873 the machines were given the series designation IIIf and the numbers 201-202. The StEG decommissioned the locomotives as early as 1873–1874.
