The Württemberg Tss 4 was a class of three 750-mm gauge 0-8-0T locomotives of the Royal Württemberg State Railways (Königlich Württembergischen Staats-Eisenbahnen, K.W.St.E.). They were used on the Bottwartalbahn between Heilbronn Süd and Marbach am Neckar. While in service, the locomotives were based at Beilstein. The Tss 4 were the first 750-mm gauge steam locomotives to be equipped with the Klose drive system.
