It is surely one of the most beautiful narrow gauge iron horses in Germany. The subject in the "Spreewald", a 109 nine year old old-timer that presently steams as a small jewel on the German Railroad Association (DEV) in Bruchhausen-Vilsen on the First German Museum Railroad through the delightful countryside. Among the many well preserved DEV old-timers the "Spreewald" can definitely tell the most exciting story. In 1917 it first saw the light of day along with four sibling locomotives at the locomotive builder in Jungenthal on the Sieg. The first assigned route for this 40 km/h / 25 mph agile unit with three driving axles and one pilot truck was located in the dark forests of East Prussia near the Pillkaller Short Line on the border with the Russian Empire. In the fall of 1944, a number of these short line units were relatively new before the invasion of the Red Army and were run to the West. A departing unit finally landed by the Spreewald Railroad and was given the road number 99 5633 by the German State Railroad. After its home route was shut down the locomotive came from the GDR and found a new home at the DEV. The "Spreewald" came into the LGB program for the first time in 1988. Since then, it has been one of the most popular garden railroad models. LGB is reissuing this classic again for the 60th anniversary of the DEV Museum Railroad – as a successful tribute to a short line steam locomotive with a great history.
