GLÜCKAUF and TRUSETAL were two four-axle 750 mm narrow-gauge locomotives of the Trusebahn . After they were taken over by the Deutsche Reichsbahn (DR) on April 1, 1949, the wet steam tank locomotives with Klien-Lindner hollow axles were given the numbers 99 4531 and 99 4532.
history
The GLÜCKAUF was built in 1908 by the Orenstein & Koppel locomotive factory, the TRUSETAL was added as a replica 16 years later. The 99 4531 was taken out of service in 1962 and served as a spare part donor for the sister locomotive. In 1959, the left TRUSETAL (99 4532) the Trusetal and came across the island of Rügen to Zittau narrow gauge railway . Deprived of its Klien-Lindner hollow axles (with the help of spare parts from GLÜCKAUF ), it was now used as a pure shunting locomotive ; it was not approved for route use. In 1989 the locomotive had to be shut down due to the worn boiler . A new boiler was no longer an option due to the changed political situation. Then the locomotive was placed in the locomotive shed in Zittau. After lengthy negotiations, the locomotive was acquired by the Zittauer Schmalspurbahnen interest group in 2001 and has since been parked in the Bertsdorf locomotive shed .
technical features
The locomotives have an outer frame, the third axle is the driving axle. You have a Heusinger control.
