    Readers of the article “The Saxon Fairlies” in the The Festiniog Railway Magazine for Spring 1962 (page 14) may well be interested in this video by Annika Taute uploaded on September 20th, 2025:

    the Rollbockbahn Reichenbach - Oberheinsdorf with a very special locomotive

    The video mentions the fate of the other two Double Fairlie locos built for this line in 1902, one lost during WWII apparently in the Black Sea, and the other scrapped in 1963

    Albeit the commentary is “auto-dubbed”, it is still reasonably intelligible.

    The video description also gives a link to     Website of the Rollbockbahn e.V. traditional association: https://rollbockbahn.com/
