89 6225 

Originally part of a group of four locomotives from the Oderbruchbahn converted by the East German Deutsche Reichsbahn in 1960 to include tenders, designated as numbers 89 6222–6225.

After the Second World War, approximately 40 locomotives of the 89.70 series remained in the territory of the Soviet occupation zone , including numerous damaged locomotives that were practically ready for scrap. 

On April 1, 1949, the Deutsche Reichsbahn took over approximately 105 more T  3 locomotives from industrial and private railways, numbered 89 953, 5901–5903, 6001–6016, 6018, 6101–6132, 6134–6159, 6161, 6163, 6164, 6204–6211, 6215, 6216, 6218, 6220, 6221, 6228–6232, 6235, 6306, 7566–7568, 7571–7573, and 7578. 

Among them were several "genuine" Prussian T  3 locomotives. The numbering was based on the axle load, with the first two digits indicating this: 59xx meant... 9 t axle load, 60xx 10 t, 63xx then 13 t. The series continued to be used in service, particularly on the formerly non-state-owned railway lines.

 

If you have a real "railway enthusiast's obsession," the Oderbruch Railway is a familiar name, even if you've never actually ridden it, if only because of the real and "fake" T3 locomotives with tenders. Here's a "quasi-T3" (89 6221 - 6225) in the Oderbruch region.

The bell is steam operated and needs both an input and exhaust - Ulf Steckel

Boizenburger Stadt and Hafenbahn 89 6154 - almost all from Peter Koenig

This is Müncheberg-Stadt station. From here, the Oderbruch Railway trains ran to Hasenfelde, and the Müncheberg Light Railway trains ran to the Müncheberg State Railway station.

 

The Maerklin 4507

It will lose the brakehouse, get some new wheels, and a dull green repaint to become an ordinary service wagon.

DR BR195

Some years ago, Piko released a two-car set that included a BR195 control car (Steuerwagen), these were repurposed as trailer cars for use with small shunting locos. This combination was used in the region around Ebeleben 

This requires some surgery to install a coupling mount to the non-driving end of the vehicle.
