The locomotives HILAX the locomotive factory Jung are built in the 1930s in large numbers Dampflokomotiv -series for railways in the track width mm of the 600th The series comprised about 180 locomotives.
The manufacturer called HILAX locomotives with 65 HP and a track width of 600 mm
History and technical characteristics
The light rail locomotive was delivered in several series from 1938. The exact number of machines delivered is not exactly known. For the penultimate series of locomotives, the number is given as 20 locomotives. The technical data is based on the preserved locomotive of the Muskau Forest Railway.
A locomotive has been preserved at the Muskau Forest Railway (WEM) and is in the locomotive shed in Weißwasser . There is a project for the serviceable remanufacturing of the locomotive. The Oekoven Feldbahnmuseum and the Frankfurt Feldbahnmuseum also have a locomotive in working order. Other locomotives have been preserved in Ruse , England and France .
Muskau Forest Railway

The Muskau machine was bought by Carl Halbach AG under the serial number Jung in 1938/8293 and was used at their quarry in Bernbruch . What is striking about the locomotive is the fact that it is equipped with a Kobel chimney, where the locomotive was in operation for 40 years and carried heavy haulage trains.
The special technical features of the locomotive, which was designed for one-man operation, include the Heusinger control and the cylinder control with flat slide . The water supply was carried within the frame cheeks of the inner frame, the coal supply in the container in front of the driver's cab.
In 1976 the quarry was closed and the locomotive was rescued with other vehicles by railroad enthusiasts. The locomotive came to the Gera Park Railway in 1976 , where it was not put back into operation. In 1998 it came to the Muskau Forest Railway and has since stood as a rollable exhibit in the Weisswasser engine shed . There is a project to get the locomotive back into working order.
Oekoven field railway museum
In 1941 a locomotive with the serial number 9294 was delivered to the Cologne construction company Bauwens , which used it in various construction projects in the Cologne area. The difference to the Muskau locomotive is that it does not have a Kobel chimney; the locomotive also had certain characteristics of war savings in steam locomotives; for example, expensive non-ferrous metals were replaced by steel or bakelite .
In the mid-1960s, the locomotive was taken out of service and placed on a playground in Cologne. Due to the unprotected and unsupervised outdoor exhibition, many parts of the locomotive were lost or destroyed by rust. In 1982 the Oekoven field railway museum took over only one wreck and worked it on again. The remanufacturing was successful, so that an operational locomotive has been available again since 1995 (as of 2019).
Frankfurt Feldbahnmuseum
A HILAX locomotive has also been preserved in the Frankfurt Feldbahnmuseum ; it dates from 1941 and has the road number 9295. The locomotive has been reconditioned and is operational.
