Hohenzollern Tram : Paul Howard
Built by the Hohenzollern Locomotive Works in Dusseldorf. The Eerste Stoomtramweg Maatschappij of the Netherlands ordered five tramway locomotives for the 1067mm gauge line between Assen and Coevorden, numbered 13 to 17.
Locos 13 and 16 were sold on to the Bruynzeel Timber Company and shipped out to Borneo to work in their sawmills.
This loco, numbered 16, was built by Peter Angus and lined by Mike Lax, and represents one of the engines that worked in Indonesia. It is driven by a geared oscillator supplied by Eian Green.

June 2023
The Bell Locomotive Works, Inc. of New York City built a variety of lightweight geared steam locos. These included side tank, saddle tank and tender types even an articulated version. All shared certain elements, including some of the practical features of the Stanley Steamer car of 1908. They all had enclosed power units, boilers wrapped in piano wire and all ran on petroleum based liquid fuels. They only took twenty minutes to raise steam so were popular with contractors and plantation owners.
My particular loco, built by Peter Angus, ran on the Central American banana plantations of the United Fruit Company in the early 1920s: Paul Howard

Accucraft Saxonian 1K : Rick Collett.
Rick writes that No 54 was a new build in 2009. The small wheel on the roof and funnel are part of an early continuous brake. A rope is threaded through and also along the vehicles/coaches. The brakes are arranged to be permanently on. When the rope is tightened the brakes are pulled off.
