There's indeed plenty similarities between these two small types engines, but there's some differences as well like the SS 657 (NS 8107) has side water tanks and a Walschaerts steam distribution. I just love all these small loco's and used to fire and drive them until about 27 years ago when we moved out of the countryLooks very much like my beloved Bavarian DVI loko .

I guess the Bavarian DVI is a bit like the German T3, built with an almost infinite number of variations by different factories.Pieter
I don't know exactly how many BAVARIAN DVI lokos existed , but almost all of them had major or minor modifications . And they all had an ALAN steam distribution . That loko , no matter which modifications were done , is my beloved loko .
I have built 4 machines myself in scale HO , all different modifications .
And I have 2 models from MICRO METAKIT , handmade , and also one in gauge 0 . Unfortunately in black . Do you still drive these small machines ? ? ?
Only if you hear them talk backVery nice Pieter .
A white shirt and a tie is the perfect outfit for a steam engine machinist . :ROTFL: .
The prussian T3 is also a very much liked little machine . What a pitty , that you don't drive these "jewels" any more .
All my models (about 90) are in a glass cabinets as are my 16 HASSELBLADs .
And I talk to my cameras . Am I nuts ? ? ?
Very nice Pieter .
