I have this picture of 0-6-0T, anybody an idea, what it is? (Link to pic Ans_05373-0760 in ETH Zurich Library)

It seems that Derby built some of those, like this one here:

(Pic-Link: 6WC 0-6-0 Tank engine No. 1094A. (Derby, DY_2029). at Science and Society Picture Library (ssplprints.com))
Here, the firebox does not really fit.

This one looks to be more similar

Are these all Midland Kirtley 0-6-0 Well Tanks as seen here:

I believe these were rebuilds from previous 0-6-0 tender locos, of which Kirtley built a huge number. What looks like a coal bunker at the back is mainly a water tank.

Rebuilts: yes. But my sources tell that these were singles first. See for example here.

Found the complete description of the pic in Baxter: Victorian & Edwardian locomotives on page 15. (Online)
