Linz Gstadt Bahn 2

[AustrianNG]

That loco is an Engerth Mh6. It is a hybrid - a Regner brass body and complete tender on an LGB Rugens 0-8-0 chassis along a with a Massoth sound card and decoder.

I believe it's an Engerth....

That's a bit strange to us Dutch native speakers. In Dutch we have the word "engerd" which sounds exactly like "Engerth" and it means "the scary one".

Thanks for response everyone, It sure is a nice loco

I seam to remember some time back you trying to flog the Engerth, bet you are glad now it did not sell. Lovely beast. Had a couple of runs behind one at Gmund and seen a few more at sundry Austrian lines on my travels. One line where one of them was in bits.

 

[AustrianNG]

Yeah. Decided to keep her as she is unique.

…… and I still have not got round to putting a decoder in mine:



….. must do it some day

It has run on the Romney Marsh Model Engineering Club track on analogue many years ago:

That load of road locos is just cute!

Have we got enough coal onboard Gustav ?

 

[AustrianNG]

Another Garsten shed diorama from yesterday morning......motive power for the day.

It looks like there was enough coal all the loco’s are black. Very. Nice pic.

It's called "corporate identity".

Thanks Peter. Most of my steam outline locos are weathered. Not much of the gold plate in evidence on the pre 2007 LGB stock.

 

[FrenchChuffed]

Yes they sold all the Gold off to try and keep LGB going. I do see a green one there though.

A new arrival at the LGB. This loco did run on Austrian narrow gauge at Gmünd for a few years after the war until 1948 so that’s my excuse

 

[FrenchChuffed]

Any excuse is better than none, but i usaly dont need one if ii like the loco.

I'd say that's plenty.

 

[Adam1989]

Always a valid excuse for a new loco

 

[idlemarvel]

I recognise that loco! Looks much better on your layout.
