Humboldt

In 1983, the first steam locomotive owned by the DFS (Dampfbahn Fränkische Schweiz) began steam operations were introduced on the association's own line with locomotive number 2. This engine had previously been used to haul coal trains at the Nuremberg city gasworks, Ploxemam, built by Hanomag in 1923


Unfortunately I possess neither a model of Ploxemam, nor the skill to scratchbuild but I do have a reasonable green substitute, a Fleischmann T3 Humboldt also number 2
