The steam locomotives "WEILBURG" , "BRANDHOF" and "LIESING" were passenger locomotives of the Vienna-Raaber Bahn , which was also called Vienna-Gloggnitzer Bahn at times .
These three locomotives were manufactured in the company's own machine factory (later the StEG's locomotive factory ) under the direction of John Haswell . They were delivered in 1842. Since it was not yet possible to manufacture offset axles, they had a 2'A wheel arrangement based on the American model . The table gives several possible values where the information about the dimensions differ. In comparison with the WRB - Vienna II to Altmannsdorf machines, however, you can see that the two locomotives have a much larger evaporation heating surface, which certainly contributed to a higher output.
The "LIESING" exploded in 1849. The other two machines came to the southern state railway in 1853 , where the "WEILBURG" was eliminated in 1858. The "BRANDHOF" came to the southern runway as SB 806 and was retired in 1860.
For the Vienna-Raaber Bahn, F.Nr. 8/1842 the "Brandhof" delivered, which remained there. Almost identical in construction followed with F. In 19/1844 the “Brandhof II”, which had been procured by the Imperial and Royal Southern State Railroad and was renamed “Krieglach” in 1858. Both were eliminated in 1860.
