Additionally the trailing truck was also articulated necessitating a jointed cab and cab roof.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInitially two of the locomotives were built by Krauss in 1889 followed by a further four from Hartmann in 1891. Although the locomotives were successful in their work, high maintenance costs associated with the design's complexity meant they had relatively short working lives.  Absorbed by the Deutsche Reichsbahn in 1920, they had all been scrapped by 1926.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eScale: 1:20.3 Scale\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGauge: 32mm or 45mm Gauge\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMinimum Radius: 1.25m (48 in.)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePower: Live Steam\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLength: 443mm (over couplings)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWidth: 98mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHeight: 147mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBoiler: Centre Flue\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWorking Pressure: 60psi\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight: 4.1 kg (9lbs)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReversing Gear: piston reverse by lever in the cab\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eValve Gear: Alan valve gear\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCylinders:  Piston valve\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFuel: Butane Gas\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBoiler Fittings: Safety valve, pressure gauge, water gauge\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCab Controls: Steam regulator, gas regulator, reverse lever, displacement lubricator\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVersions available:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAL87-012 Sächsische IIIK - Live Steam\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Accucraft","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58513382801782,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0460\/3527\/1846\/files\/AL87-012-Saxon-IIIK-0-6-2T.jpg?v=1788959865","url":"https:\/\/www.maidstone-engineering.com\/products\/saxon-iiik-0-6-2t-1-20-3-scale","provider":"Maidstone Engineering Supplies","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
