LGB L24743 G Steam locomotive Spreewald of DEV

Steam locomotive Spreewald of DEV
It is certainly one of Germany's most beautiful narrow gauge steam eaters. The talk is about the "Spreewald", a 109-year-old timer, which today steams through the lovely landscape as a small jewel at the German Railway Association (DEV) in Bruchhausen-Vilsen on the First German Museum Railway. Among the many well-kept DEV vehicle oldtimers, the "Spreewald" can surely tell the most exciting story. In 1917 she spotted the light of the locomotive world with four sister locomotives at the Jung locomotive factory in Jungenthal at the victory. The first home stretch of these 40 km/h fast-fling machines equipped with three driving axles and a forward axis lay in the dark forests of East Prussia near the Pillkall Kleinbahn on the border with the Russian Empire. In autumn 1944, the small railway workers drove some of their relatively new locomotives shortly before the Red Army invaded the West. One machine ended up at the Spreewald Railway, which received the number 99 5633 at the State Railways. After their distance to the house was stopped, the locomotive was allowed to leave the GDR in 1971 and found a new home at the DEV. The "Spreewald" then rolled into the LGB program for the first time in 1988. Since then it has been one of the most popular garden railway models. For the big 60 th birthday of the DEV-Museumbahn, LGB puts this classic back on - as a successful tribute to a small train steam locomotive with a large history.
