The experimental Deutsche Reichsbahn Class 19.1001 steam locomotive, built by Henschel in the early 1940s...

It featured a unique individual-axle drive system powered by separate V-shaped steam engines instead of traditional side rods.

Only one prototype was ever made; it was taken to the United States after World War II for evaluation and ultimately scrapped in 1952.
