LGB L24268 G Steam locomotive 798,101 of SWEG

Steam locomotive 798,101 of the Swiss federal railways
In the course of its long 125-year history, some of the vehicle rarities gave their way on the romantic Jagsttal railway in Baden-Württemberg. This also included a small but fine steam engine, which listened to the affectionately sounding name "Nicki S.". Her story reads like a fairy tale with an unusual happy ending. The narrow-gauge tender locomotive was "born" in extremely troubled times of the Second World War. In 1941, Henschel delivered the locomotive, which at that time was referred to as HF 110 C 25982, to the German Wehrmacht, in 1948 it was taken over by the Austrian Federal Railways as 798,101, but then only used until 1952. From then on, the steam crack was waiting for the cutting burner or a prince who would keep the machine from its sad fate. He finally came into the person of the Bielefeld entrepreneur Walter Seidensticker, who acquired in 798,101 and after a major redevelopment he had made her shine in a new shine. Their proud owner was so excited about his new sleek locomotive that he called them "Nicki S." in keeping with his daughter. From 1984 onwards, she inspired visitors from near and far in the lovely Jagsttal between Möckmühl and Dörzbach. When the operation was stopped there, Seidentisticker took his "Nicki" to his vicinity to the steam small railway Mühlenstroth, where she can still be admired as "Nicki and Frank S." today. Unfortunately, she cannot arrive at the anniversary celebrations in Jagsttal, because she no longer travels on a track of 750 mm, but was relayed to 600 mm. For this purpose, her sister locomotive 99 4652 will come to Dörzbach and remind of the time when a HF 110 C steamed through the picturesque valley. And then on the LGB train, both models can be used to celebrate the birthday of the Jagsttalbahn duly.
