The class 99.17, Ts 4 locomotive of the Royal Württemberg State Railways was purchased for use on the 15.11 kilometer route between Altensteig and Nagold . The three tank locomotives had an outer frame and a Klose engine . Axis number 1 and 4 were controlled via the third, laterally movable axis by means of a lever system. The second axle was driven by the internal cylinders and had no flanges . Overall, the system was very reliable, but also very maintenance-intensive.
The vehicles were delivered in 1891, 1892 and 1899 and were later all taken over by the Reichsbahn . There they were given the numbers 99 171–99 173. They were named Altensteig, Berneck and Ebhausen
