The locomotives of No. 1 to 5 of the Grand Ducal Oldenburg Railway (GOE) were two-axle steam locomotives and built for the meter-gauge network of the Wangeroog Island Railway. Originally, the GOE had no generic names, the locomotives had numbers and names. The generic term B was first introduced in the literature as a collective term to denote different locomotives.
number 1
The first locomotive of the Wangerooger Inselbahn was bought by GOE in 1895 and 1897. It was a wet steam locomotive, the drive was on the second axle. It was retired in 1910.
No. 2
The second locomotive was bought in 1900. It is not known exactly where it was previously used, but it was probably already used for the Grand Ducal Building Management on Wangerooge. It corresponded to the type II of the mechanical engineering company Heilbronn . It was presumably retired during the First World War.
No. 3
In 1904 a locomotive was purchased from Freudenstein & Co. in Berlin. The only 9.4 t tank locomotive could carry 1.2 m³ of water and 0.35 tons of coal , the water tank was in the frame, the coal tanks were to the right and left of the boiler. The drive rod acted on the second axis. The locomotive was number 3.
No. 4 and 5
In 1910 a somewhat heavier and larger locomotive with a weight of 12.2 t was ordered from Hanomag. Due to the good experience with this machine, another copy was ordered in 1913. These locomotives were given the numbers 4 and 5.
Whereabouts
After the establishment of the Reichsbahn , machines 3–5 were taken over as class 99.02 with the numbers 99 021-023. The 99 021 (No. 3) and the 99 022 (No. 4) had to be handed over to the Eastern Front for war use in 1942, where their trace is lost.
The 99 023 (No. 5) stayed on Wangerooge and has been slightly modified there. It received an enlarged water tank, wooden window flaps and an electrically operated lantern. It was retired in 1957.
