Nederlandsch Indische Spoorweg Maatschappij or NIS received 10 0-6-2Ts (skirt tank) from Sächsische Maschinenfabrik (Hartmann) in 1903 and 1912 worked for mixed passenger and freight trains on the 3 ft 6 in (1067 mm) Gundih–Gambringan–Cepu–Surabaya NIS and sugarcane freight train on Solo–Wonogiri–Baturetno lines which managed by them.
However, the NIS 350s used teak wood more often due to the increasing consumption of coal making it difficult to get it.
These NIS 350s have limitation, technically, the position of the tank is on the side of the wheels and only has a water capacity of 3 m3.
To overcome this obstacle, especially when entering the dry season, a water tower or reservoir was built at each station.
All were tank locomotives, weighed 32 tonnes (71,000 lb) and were run a maximum speed of 33 km/h (21 mph).
[7] It was last seen in January 1982 and was presumed to have been scrapped not long after due to the mill being in a decrepit state during those years.
[9] In 1892 and 1893, the Nederlandsche-Zuid-Afrikaansche Spoorweg-Maatschappij of the Zuid-Afrikaansche Republiek (Transvaal Republic) placed twenty 3 ft 6 in (1,067 mm) Cape gauge 0-6-2T locomotives in mainline service.
[10] Three classes of 600 mm (1 ft 11+5⁄8 in) gauge 0-6-2 locomotives were supplied to German South West Africa between 1904 and 1908.
[14] The arrangement was soon afterwards used by Francis Webb of the London and North Western Railway on his famous Coal Tanks of 1881–1897.
Many locomotives of this type were also used to haul coal in the South Wales Valleys by the Great Western Railway and its predecessors, where the arrangement proved sufficiently successful to lead to the development of the GWR 56xx class in 1924.
Most notable were the 0-6-2T's of the Mcbryde Sugar Company of Kauai, 3 of which survive and are currently the only original steam engines operating in Hawaii.
