News 2025.02 - Works loco ÖBB 052/S of the HW St. Pölten

ÖBB 052/S - The apiary!

After ÖBB had closed the auxiliary workshop in Obergrafendorf and the maintenance of the narrow-gauge wagons was transferred to the main workshop in St. Pölten, there was a lack of a suitable shunting locomotive there in the spring of 1960. With the tried and tested confidence that makeshift is the longest lasting solution, a shunting tractor was quickly cobbled together from existing old materials. The engine came from a compressor, the gearbox from a standard-gauge tow train. The frame and the superstructure were built by themselves, based on the narrow-gauge wagons. After the ÖBB 052/S was taken out of service, the locomotive body was sold and served as an apiary in the Pielach Valley for many years!

The models of the small, funny locomotive come from the small series workshop ‘1125’, from which we can still expect some uncompromising narrow gauge models. From the crane lifting points on the roof to the real wood battering ram on the frame, the model is as close as possible to the large prototype, only the drive is much more powerful! The specially developed bell-armature drive allows smooth running and a clear view of the locomotive body.

All models are equipped with white alternating lights and a six-pin NEM651 interface and can be fitted with an MX622N ex works. The dummy coupler sits at an exemplary height and can be easily converted for H0e shunting using the enclosed magnetic hook coupler adapter. Nothing else needs to be done, the model is delivered fully equipped!

    The first „Salzburger Lokalbahn“! In July 1907, the ‘Rote Elektrische’ (Red Electric) connection from Salzburg Local Railway Station to Drachenloch station was opened, and shortly afterwards the section of the line from the German border was electrified. As early as its first year of operation, 15 passenger cars were in service. However, the city and local railway also always transported goods, especially marble, sand and cement. In the interwar period, a buffet car was even added to increase the attractiveness of the railway.

    Back to the past! In February 2025, the narrow-gauge railway returned to HALLING in the form of two blue Mixnitz electric locomotive models. Today, history takes a step back into the past. The narrow-gauge Mixnitz-St. Erhard line, which is only 11 kilometres long, was built in 1913 as part of the development of the magnesite deposits in Breitenau am Hochlantsch. The two electric locomotives ‘Breitenau’ and ‘Hochlantsch’ with the Bo axle arrangement were delivered by AEG in the same year and used for mixed operation of passenger and goods trains.
