CFCD (Heeresfeldbahn) 0-10-0T No. 12 (HF 2085)Posted by: Dale W Fickés on Sep 6, 2022 @ 03:09:17
Originally delivered to the storeage park at Klausdorf as HF 2085, it first worked at Habsheim, now France, in 1918 and appears to have spent all the inter-war years at Pithiers sugar factory. In late 1939 it commenced work for the Pithiers-Tourcy Tramway as No. 5-3 until around 1962. Through a handler it reached the Pithiers Museum and then, Mr R Ballon of Echiré-Saint-Gervais, Deux Sèvres. In 1980 it was purchased privately by a Mr Lochelle, Rouillac, Charente and only in 1998 did it go to the CFCD, (Chemin du Fer Cappy-Dompierre) for the record, Froissy, Oise, France in its original identity.

(Heeresfeldbahn) 0-8-0T No. ML-629 (HF 853)Posted by: Dale W Fickés on Sep 6, 2022 @ 03:09:01
Initially delivered to HF at Berlin-Schöneberg for Rehagen -Klausdorf as HF 853. In 1920 it went to the LVD, Latvia (part of the USSR until 1920) as No. 4CL-5; later No. ML-629 and has been present as listed in Talsi, Courland, Latvia, the main town in the district, since at least 1994 and was here in 2000.

JZ (SHS) 0-6-0T No. 61.002 (2002)Posted by: Dale W Fickés on Sep 5, 2022 @ 08:09:50
The construction number, from my records, is dubious - as is the date of 1922 for O&K. This is far more likely to be Henschel & Sohn, Kassel No. 19489/1922 who would have achieved such numbers by that date although this is not recorded on their list of extant locomotives. Unfortunately a build plate was/is not evident on the locomotive. It could, of course, have been sub-contracted by O&K ? More probably it has been mis-identified for a number of years. Niš is in Nišava, Serbia. The locomotive itself was not at the station, but north of the centre.

The overhaul on ex United States Army Transportation Corps S160 2-8-0 No. 3278 ‘Franklin D Roosevelt’ is also progressing at Cheddleton sheds on the Churnet Valley Railway since it arrived there in early 2021.

As unlike British locomotives the S160s don’t have a traditional smokebox door as the plate that covers the front of the smokebox with a smaller door that enables access as required. This door is off centre in order to provide room for the air pump mounted on the front of the locomotive.
