The no. 20 of Württembergische Eisenbahn-Gesellschaft (WEG) was a vierfachgekuppelte tank locomotive .
The unique piece was built in 1914 with the serial number 7186 by Hanomag for a sugar factory in Cape Town . With the outbreak of the First World War, the locomotive was no longer delivered as planned. Instead, it was taken over by the Flensburg Port Railway, which used it as a shunting locomotive until 1932 . Then WEG acquired the locomotive and initially used it on the Jagstfeld – Ohrnberg route . Because of its insufficient steam production, it was unsuitable for use on the long route and was used as a replacement locomotive on all WEG routes, most recently on the Vaihingen – Enzweihingen route , where it was scrapped in 1963.
The high boiler and the short chimney made the wet steam locomotive look squat.
