Description: EXTRA INFOPHOTO ROYAL SAXON STATE RAILWAYS (K.S.ST.E.B.) CLASS XX HV DR NO.19.017 (BUILT 1922) AT DRESDEN HBF. STATION . IT WAS POSITIONED HERE APPARENTLY TO PROMOTE THE DRESDEN STEAM FESTIVAL ALTHOUGH WHY CHOSE THIS RATHER THAN ONE OF THE NUMEROUS CLASS 50 OR 52 LOCOS I FIND ODD. IF YOU PAY MONEY TO ATTEND THE STEAM FESTIVAL ITSELF YOU WANT TO SEE THIS LOCO THERE �?????? NOT SOMEWHERE WHERE PEOPLE CAN SEE IT FOR FREE AND WHERE MOST PEOPLE WOULD HAVE NO IDEA OF THE SIGNIFICANCE OF THIS LOCO. VERY STRANGE. THE CLASS XX HVS WERE EXPRESS PASSENGER LOCOS FOR THE HILLY AREAS OF SAXONY THE CONTEMPORARY CLASS XVIII H (DRG CLASS 18.0) 4-6-2S BEING BUILT FOR THE FLAT AREAS OF SAXONY. THE XX HVS WERE THE LAST EXPRESS ENGINES FOR THE K.S.ST.E.B. AND THE LARGEST EXPRESS ENGINES IN EUROPE WHEN INTRODUCED 23 BEING BUILT IN 1918-23. I FIND THEM VERY IMPRESSIVE AND ADVANCED MACHINES FOR 1918 �?????? THE SAXON EQUIVALENT OF THE LNERS P2 2-8-2S OF 1934 BUT MUCH MORE SUCCESSFUL. ALL BAR ONE CLASS 19.0 (AS BY THEN CLASSIFIED) DESTROYED IN WWII ENDED UP IN EAST GERMANY. ALL WERE WITHDRAWN BY 1967 EXCEPT FOR TWO REBUILT AS REKOLOKS IN 1963-65 WITH ALL-WELDED 39E BOILERS (AS ON THE CLASS 03.10 39 AND 41 REKOLOKS) NEW CABS DE WITTE SMOKE DEFLECTORS NEW CARRYING WHEELS MODIFIED FRAMES AND A 2�??????3�??????T38 TENDER INSTEAD OF THE SAXON2�??????2T31 TENDER. THESE TWO WERE RECLASSIFIED 04 IN 1970 AND WERE WITHDRAWN IN 1975-76.
