Description
The class T 5 of the state railways of Württemberg in southwest Germany was a small tank engine for local passenger services. Almost 100 units were built between 1910 and 1920. Almost all of them survived until after World War II and ended up with the Bundesbahn. However, in the early 1960s they were retired and replaced by diesel engines. All units were scrapped.
This type is a bit less powerful and slower than the class 38, but being a tank engine it is shorter, which could make an important difference on branch lines having stations with short platforms. The field of service is also clear: Local trains on branch lines, but it can also haul light freight trains, e.g. transporting materials to larger hub stations.

Short freight trains can also be hauled by the class 75, although they do not really excel at it.
