The steam locomotives from Hoya to Bücken were three-axle locomotives of the meter- gauge small railway Hoya – Syke – Asendorf , the Wunstorf a similar locomotive of the Steinhuder Meer-Bahn .
history
To start operations in 1899, the Hoya – Syke – Asendorf small railway procured four three-axle locomotives from Hanomag , similar to those built for other small railways. They were given the names HOYA, SYKE, VILSEN and BRUCHHAUSEN. In 1902 and 1912 two similar locomotives were procured as ASENDORF and BÜCKEN. For a long time, these locomotives were the only ones operated by HSA. Only between 1947 and the beginning of the 1950s did the HSA have a small B-coupler with the NLEA No. 30 as a reserve machine and for the temporary replacement of machines that had failed during the war due to lack of maintenance, with the exception of two copies. After the repairs to these locomotives, locomotive 30 was scrapped. With the use of railcars in passenger transport from the 1930s onwards, the locomotives were sufficient for freight transport. The VILSEN was retired in 1937 and scrapped during the war. At the Lower Saxony State Railway Authority, the remaining locomotives were given the numbers 31–35 in 1950. ASENDORF was retired in 1955. After the Hoya – Syke line was changed, the narrow-gauge locomotives became superfluous in 1966. While the BRUCHHAUSEN was kept as a reserve for the diesel locomotives used on the non-gauged route Bruchhausen-Vilsen-Asendorf and was used from 1966 on the museum railway of the German Railway Association , the HOYA was in Syke in 1965 after the gauging from Hoya towards Syke switched off. SYKE and BÜCKEN were retired and scrapped in 1964 and 1966.
Wunstorf
In 1908 Hanomag delivered another copy to the Steinhuder Meer-Bahn (StMB) with the aim of relieving the two-axis machines that had been in use until then. It was classified as "7 Wunstorf" at the StMB. With the acquisition of more modern locomotives in the 1920s and an extensive roadworthiness inspection, the locomotive was scrapped around 1936.
technical features
The locomotives have three axles, with the third axle being driven. The wheels are not designed as spoked wheels, but as full disk wheels. The middle axle has no flanges for better cornering. The fire box is made of copper, the water supply is regulated by two Strube injectors and there is a Ramsbottom safety valve. The locomotives have Stephenson controls with flat slide. There is an Extersche throw lever handbrake for the locomotive and a Körting suction air brake for the train. Originally, the locomotives also had an elevator for taking water, which was reconstructed in 2014 at Lok Hoya.
Preserved locomotives
Hoya
Since the BRUCHHAUSEN locomotive was due for a general inspection in 1968, HOYA was refurbished by apprentices at the Bremen-Sebaldsbrück repair shop , as its boiler was in better condition than the BRUCHHAUSEN's. It could be used from 1968 in front of the museum trains of the German Railway Association. In 1974 a general inspection was carried out for the first time in the workshop of the museum railway. In 1995 the locomotive had to be shut down due to a damaged boiler. Due to a lack of funds, it stayed that way until 2000. A new welded boiler was manufactured in the Meiningen steam locomotive works . Many parts of the chassis, such as the wheels, were also rebuilt and superstructures such as the driver's cab and coal boxes were rebuilt. In 2006 the main inspection was finished and the HOYA could be used again.

BRUCHHAUSEN locomotive was shut down in 1968 because the deadline had expired. It was erected in 1971 near the Bruchhausen-Vilsen station as a monument locomotive and, after a traffic roundabout was built at the station in 2003, it was placed in the middle of it.
