LGB 26847 G Steam locomotive 99 1561-2 of DR
The 99 1561-2 had the honor or the bad luck to make farewell trips on various narrow gauge railways in Saxony. On the route Wilkau-Hasslau-Kirchberg on June 2, 1973, she covered the last train.Her most popular farewell appearance was 99 1561-2 on September 30, 1984. On that day, they ended the passenger traffic on the railroad track No. 422, the legendary Pressnitztalbahn Wolkenstein - Joehstadt.Since these farewell trips were accompanied by many times by railway enthusiasts, they gained a lot of attention and fame.This locomotive shows the typical condition in the final stage of the (Saxon) narrow-gauge railways shortly before the setting. For example, souvenir hunters have robbed the locomotive of their frontal sound signs. Therefore, as an emergency remedy on a black sheet with a number template, a brush and a white paint, a new plate was made. The revision data was attached freely to the locomotive without a template. All these unique, individual labeling details, which make this IV K into something very special, are naturally implemented with the model. In this way, the authenticity of the morbid end-time charm of the Saxon narrow-gauge railways can be experienced correctly and can be adjusted on any LGB system. In order to be able to carry out the maintenance on the scale of 1:22.5 on September 30, 1984, the model possesses a multi-stop announcement with the stations of the last passenger train run on the Pressnitztal railway. Also enclosed are two stickers, with the occasion written on the locomotive on this day by means of chalk, which can be stuck optionally at the water box of the LGB model. Today, the 99 1561-2 is not operational at the Wilden Robert, the Doellnitzbahn, in the Bw Muelln.Drive on all wheel sets with two powerful ball-bearing high-power engines, traction tires.
