Hi
No, it is not one of the original locomotives from the peat rr.
It has been used for construction and clay transport.
It has been rebuild several times.
In Denmark we used ng rr. to transport: Clay, sand, peat, coal, construction materials, lignite, marl, limestone, gravel, ammunition for coast fortress, stone, materials for coastal protection, sugar beets, food for fish ponds, bricks, wood, supply for soldiers and refugees, in short: Allmost everything.
We have still 170 of the small locomotives, diesel, gasoline, electricity, natural gas, gas generator and steam, but none of them is in revenue use anymore.
Allmost every locomotive have had more than one ovner.
And if we can't find anything to transport, we can allways take our friend for a joyride
