Starting in 1925, the Deutsche Reichsbahn-Gesellschaft allocated this five-coupled narrow-gauge locomotive to the classes 99.64 and 99.65. The 99.650 and the 99.651 first came to Stuttgart and were then handed over to the Bottwartalbahn, where they were retired in 1969. Between 1923 and 1927 the locomotives were rebuilt. They hardly differed from their predecessors, externally they could be recognized by the flatter steam dome. In 1960, as part of a major overhaul, the VIk received a new boiler and some welded water and coal boxes. This narrow-gauge locomotive is a superheated steam locomotive in which the first, third and fifth axles were movably mounted to the side to enable it to drive in tight curves on narrow-gauge lines. The drive was on the first and fourth axle, in the new building this was placed on the third axle. The last VI k 99.651 was the only narrow-gauge locomotive that received a computer number in 1968. After being decommissioned (September 29, 1969), it stood as a monument in Steinheim an der Murr for many years. On June 11, 2016, it was transported to Ochsenhausen and can therefore be seen again on its traditional home route alongside 99 716 and 99 633. The article is subject to differential taxation in accordance with Section 25a. The drive was on the first and fourth axle, in the new building.
