Bavarian locomotives and railbuses

This List covers the locomotives and railbuses of the Bavarian railways, excluding those of the Palatinate (Pfalz). The locomotives and railbuses of the Palatinate when it belonged to Bavaria are in the List of Palatine locomotives and railbuses.

==Locomotives of the Royal Bavarian State Railways:==
===Designation of State Railway Locomotives:===
====Names and numbers of locomotives:====
In the beginning, locomotives of the Royal Bavarian State Railways were given names. The locomotive name was displayed in raised capital letters on a brass plate on the side of the boiler or, in the case of tank locomotives, on the side of the water tank.
Locomotives were given the names of both Bavarian and foreign places, rivers, lakes and mountains, the names of important people from art and science, as well as the names of literary and mythological figures. Even a few animal names were used.
Examples: BAVARIA, WÜRZBURG, ALTMÜHL, FUNTENSEE, WATZMANN, COPERNICUS, FAUST, ODYSSEUS, PANTHER
Locomotives with names were also given a so-called inventory number that was displayed in small figures on the chimney and on the rear wall of the tender or, in the case of tank engines, on the rear wall of the driver's cab.
Inventory numbers ran in sequence on new locomotives entering service, regardless of class or type. Names and inventory numbers of withdrawn locomotives were usually reallocated to newly delivered machines. The name plates were then re-used.
Example: The Class C IV PASING 113, built in 1889, received the name and inventory number of a Class A V mustered out that year.
Names and inventory numbers were used for the last time in 1892. The state railway then went over to railway or running numbers, whereby locomotives of the same class or type were reserved a specified sequential range of numbers. The assignment of number ranges did not follow any recognisable logic. The number plates were designed in the same way and displayed in the same places as the name plates.
====Older classification scheme:====
The older classification scheme introduced in 1847 divided the locomotives into five groups differentiated by capital letters:
*A – Locomotives with one driven axle
*B – Locomotives with two coupled axles
*C – Locomotives with three coupled axles
*D – Tank locomotives
*E – Locomotives with four coupled axles
Locomotive classes were indicated with Roman numerals after the letter; these numbers ran in the same sequence as the introduction of the locomotives classes into service. There was no distinction between locomotives used for different purposes.
Example: Bavarian B V, Bavarian D XI
Because there were only locomotives with one, two or three driven axles at the time when this classification system was introduced, they were given the letters A, B and C respectively. When tank engines were brought into service in 1871, the use of four coupled axles was still not conceivable, so tank locomotives were given the class letter D. However, when goods train locomotives with four coupled axles then appeared towards the end of the 19th century, they had, absurdly, to be given the designation E I.
The system was further expanded in 1896 on the appearance of locomotives with separate running gear:
*AA – Locomotives with Vorspannachse (Locomotives with a driven axle and a raisable 'dolly axle' (Hilfsachse) to assist starting)
*BB – Mallet locomotives, which have two separate sets of coupled driving gear
Examples: AA I, Bavarian BB II
To differentiate between two-cylinder (Zwillings-) and compound (Verbund-) locomotives in the case of Classes B XI and C IV the class designation was supplemented with:
*Zw for locomotives with two-cylinder driving gear
*Vbd (also Vb or Verb) for locomotives with compound driving gear
Examples: B XI Zw, C IV Vbd
These additional letters were not inscribed on the engines themselves.
Narrow gauge locomotives for the only narrow gauge line in the state railways which then existed fell outside the boundaries of this system. These were given the abbreviation LE (for Lokalbahn Eichstätt) and Roman numerals from I to V. In addition these locomotives also displayed inventory numbers.
====Classification scheme of 1901:====
Because of technical advances and the requirements of railway operations, this scheme was no longer able to cope, so a new system was introduced in 1901.
This consisted of several elements:
A leading capital letter indicated the locomotive class:
*S – Schnellzuglokomotive = express train locomotive
*P – Personenzuglokomotive = passenger train locomotive
*G – Güterzuglokomotive = goods train locomotive
*R – Rangierlokomotive = shunting locomotive
*M – Motorwagen = rail motor vehicle
*E – elektrischer Antrieb = electric locomotive (from 1913, precedes the locomotive class)
The locomotive class could be elaborated on with one or more additional letters:
*t – Tenderlokomotive = tank locomotive (not used for shunting engines)
*z – Zahnradlokomotive = cogwheel locomotive
*s – Schmalspurlokomotive = narrow gauge locomotive
*L – Lokalbahn = branch line
Then followed the ratio of the coupled axles to the total number of axles, separated by a forward slash e. g. 3/5.
To distinguish between superheated and wet steam locomotives of the same class, an "H" or an "N" was added at the end of the classification.
Examples:
*So a Class S 3/6 meant an express engine (Schnellzuglokomotive) with 3 coupled axles and 6 axles in total – i.e. 3 carrying axles.
*The Pt 2/5 N is a passenger train tank engine (Personenzugtenderlokomotive) with 2 coupled axles and a total of 5 axles – i.e. 3 carrying axles – using wet or saturated steam (Naßdampfausführung.)
*EP 3/5 meant an electric passenger train locomotive (Elektrische Personenzuglokomotive) with 3 driven axles and 5 axles in all – i.e. two carrying axles.
The new classification system was only applied to those locomotives newly entering service. So up to 1920 two different classification systems existed together. With the foundation of the Deutsche Reichsbahn, later the Deutsche Reichsbahn-Gesellschaft (DRG) the Bavarian classification system was abolished.

====Modification of Bavarian steam locomotives by the Deutsche Reichsbahn and Deutsche Bundesbahn:====
Locomotives of two Bavarian classes underwent major modification by the Deutsche Reichsbahn and Deutsche Bundesbahn. Although the rebuilds took place decades after the end of the Royal Bavarian State Railways, these locomotives displayed unmistakable Bavarian features and were designated even in railway administrative documents with (unofficial) Bavarian class names.

==Locomotives of the Bavarian Eastern Railway Company (Bayerische Ostbahn):==
The classification scheme of the Bavarian Ostbahn was different from that of the state railway. The locomotives were also divided into five groups that were given capital letters.
*A – Locomotives with one driven axle
*B – Locomotives with two coupled axles and a carrying axle
*C – Locomotives with three coupled axles
*D – Tank locomotives
*E – Locomotives with two coupled axles, but no carrying axle
The Ostbahn did not differentiate between the individual classes with a special class number. Instead of that locomotives were numbered sequentially within a group. After nationalisation, the former Ostbahn locomotives were initially operated under their old numbers. Not until 1892 were they redesignated in accordance with the classification system of the state railway.
The initial use of names was soon given up again.
Ostbahn Number	State Railway Class	State Railway Number	Quantity	Year(s) of Manufacture	Axle arrangement	Remarks
A 1–A 12 	 	 	12 	1857–1858 	2A n2 	Crampton design, rebuilt into 1B n2 of the B 79–B 90 series
A 13–A 24 	 	 	12 	1859 	1A1 n2 	Stephenson design, rebuilt into 1B n2 of the B 67–B 78 series
A 1–A 2 
to 1872: 
E 1–E 2	B V (Ostbahn) 	1001–1002 	2 	1869 	B n2 	
B 1–B 66 	B V (Ostbahn) 	1003–1068 	66 	1858–1865 	1B n2 	
B 67–B 78 	B IX (Ostbahn) 	1069–1080 	(12) 	(1870–1871) 	1B n2 	Rebuilt from A 13–A 24, driving wheel diameter 1524 mm
B 79–B 90 	B IX (Ostbahn) 	1081–1092 	(12) 	(1869–1872) 	1B n2 	Rebuilt from A 1–A 12, driving wheel diameter 1829 mm (Loco B 79/1081: 1524 mm)
B 91–B 96 	B IX (Ostbahn) 	1093–1098 	6 	1872 	1B n2 	driving wheel diameter 1828 mm

C 13–C 64 	C III (Ostbahn) 	1124–1175 	55 	1867–1875 	C n2 	C 37–C39 were sold as new in 1872 to the Imperial Railways in Alsace-Lorraine, on new models the same number was used
D 1–D 12 	D IV (Ostbahn) 	1178–1189 	12 	1867–1872 	B n2t 	
D 13–D 14 	D II (Ostbahn) 	1176–1177 	2 	1866 	B n2t 	Property of the Deggendorf-Plattling Railway operated by the Bavarian Ostbahn
Former Ostbahn locomotives were fitted with stronger tyres by the Royal Bavarian State Railways, so that in later years they had wheel diameters of up to 40 mm greater. Class C III (Ostbahn) und D IV (Ostbahn) locomotives were included in DRG's preliminary steam locomotive renumbering plan of 1923 under the numbers 53 7834–53 7868 and 88 7021–88 7026, but they did not appear in the final numbering plan.
