Editing 2-2-2 (section)

===Germany===
Most of the earliest locomotives to operate in what is now Germany before the mid-1840s were 2-2-2s delivered by UK manufacturers. However, by 1839 the type was also being built locally ''see'' [[List of Bavarian locomotives and railbuses]]. The [[LDE – Pegasus|Pegasus]] of 1839 was the first locomotive to be built by the [[Sächsische Maschinenbau-Compagnie]] in [[Chemnitz]]. [[August Borsig]] and Company manufactured [[Beuth (locomotive)|Beuth]] in 1843 which was highly successful; its valve design became de facto standard for locomotives for decades to come.<ref>Christopher Chant, 'The World's Railways, Regency House Publishing (2001)1552671607</ref> By 1846 he had manufactured more than a hundred similar locomotives. Both the [[Leipzig-Dresden Railway Company|Leipzig-Dresden Railway]] and [[Royal Bavarian State Railways]] (Königlich Bayerische Staatsbahn) built several 2-2-2 classes 1841-1859. Similarly, the [[Grand Duchy of Mecklenburg Friedrich-Franz Railway]] grouped various 2-2-2 steam locomotives procured from German manufacturers between 1848 and 1863 into its [[Mecklenburg I]] class.
