Photos not in the Egger-bahn No5 Artical

[B.Meldon]

Here are some of the photos that I could not include in the Egger-bahn No5 article in the January 009 News:

Firstly the two SKGLB locos:

No.1, Kraus-Linz 2324 of 1890
No.2, Kraus-Linz 2325 of 1890.

These two locos worked on the St. Lorenz to Mondsee branch.

Both had flat backs to the cab and no spark arrestor.

Here is No.1 or No.2 at Mondsee station:



SKGLB No1 in July 1890 during construction:



SKGLB No2 in 1890 again on a construction train:

Both locos were scrapped in the 1950

Next the four locos built for the StLB in 1892:

Thanks for these photos, Brian. The museum photos are interesting in themselves, but the historic views of these locos in service are a find.

Can I ask why they could not be included? Was this for copyright reasons, allocated space, or another reason?

Brian, once again this was a superb article. Thoroughly enjoyable and incredibly informative. Many thanks for taking the trouble to write about these locos and illustrating it with such excellent photos.

As Steve has mentioned these photos were not part of the article I sent in to 009 News and as has been surmised it is because I do not have the copyright to re-publish them. Nor did I try and get permission to use them.

They are however all available to view on the internet so it is not a problem posting them on the forum.

I have a lot of additional material that unfortunately can not be re-printed in 009 News that is either on the internet or has been sent to me direct to help with my Egger research.
For example I have photos of the all the prototype Egger-bahn No5 locos with curved backs to the cab in black, grey and blue plastic as well as a photo of the hand made brass pre-production prototype. But these are not my models or my photos so they can not be re-printed in the News.

You may have noticed that the photo of the 1980

Thank you David. I am glad that you enjoyed it.

As you may be able to tell it took some time get this one done and I did have some help from Roald Hofmann. (

Here are some photos of the four 1892 StLB locos in service. (Well some or one of them anyway!)

Interesting photos, Brian. A shame we couldn't include prototype photos in the article. Perhaps something to consider for future articles...
