    Morning All,

    Knowing the amount of expert knowledge within this group, I wondered whether someone might be able to identify this narrow gauge locomotive and say where it is now :

    Any ideas anyone?

    Ron,

    A superb picture you have found there!

    I think this beauty is at Le P'tit train de la Haute Somme (Froissy - Cappy - Dompierre)

    Hopefully someone here know a bit more info about her, as there is not much on the site.

    If I remember right, this used to belong to John Snell, was homed for a while at Boston Lodge, and is indeed now at Frossy - Cappy - Dompierre. I also think VOR is involved in its past as well.

    No. The one at Boston lodge was its sister. Owen Chapman has it answered now in the comments under the photo linked to in the original post. To quote him, "... that is one of two 0-8-0's, one built by Vulkan-Werke and the other by O&K between the war's for the 2ft gauge lines near Mecklenburg Germany. Later DR 99.3461/2. 3462 was stored at Boston Lodge for a long time intended for the Rheidol when Mike Hart was looking to buy it in the 1970's and has returned to Germany and is in a museum. 3461, which is I think the locomotive here, was in running order and ran a few times at Knebworth House (where this shot is taken) and is now on the CF Froissy-Cappy Dompierre railway in the Somme where it operated into the 1990's but is currently in their museum building waiting overhaul."

    But not a twin sister! There were nine years between their respective build dates and there are several dimensional differences - cylinder diameter, coal capacity etc. Full details are in 'Taschenbuch Deutsche Schmalspur Dampflokomotifen' by Horst Obermayer and 'Schmalspur Zwischen Ostsee und Erzgebirge' by by Klaus Kieper and Reiner Preuss. My German is not too good, especialy where technical terms are concerned, but I believe the second loco worked out of Anklam on the MPSB [by then part of the Deutsche Reichsbahn]on the line to Dennin which closed in 1969. Both locos were withdrawn in 1970.

    As they came from different parentage, are they even sisters?
