Further investigations reveal this as one of around six surviving examples of 150 6-wheeled examples, mostly built by O&K during WW1 and numbered 401-549., this being delivered to the KuK as No. 418 in Wien. It later went to Universale AG, Strashof where it was stored in 2002. It was lhen plinthed outside in Trumau, Lower Austria, Austrua but may well be now stored. Not named, and probably

Sorry but this is not HANNI which is a 0-4-0T as illustrated in the Zoubek book page 335 where it can seen that the water tank ends close to the chimney. At the moment the locomotive illustrated is a mystery and I do not have one listed in Trumau. I will ask my Austrian friend for help.

Could this be Krauss (Linz) 1342/1926 which I have as 760mm gauge, previously to Papierfabrik Steyrermühl AG and, in 1965, to Steirische Gußstahlwerke, Judenburg as “HANNI”, later at Technologisches Gewerbemusem, Wien - this being quite close to Trumau, south-east of Wien in the suburb of Teesdorf on the B171. If it is I have no record of HRB or the number 418 associated with this locomotive ?
