Comment: At the end of the 19th / beginning of the 20th century, a number of narrow gauge rail networks sprang up in France too. One of them formed the "Tramways d'Ille-et-Vilaine" (TIV), whose lines radiated out from the operational mid-point of Rennes. Between 1897 and 1924, a meter gauge network with a route length of 510 km / 319 miles developed. Notable were the quite long lines Rennes - La M‚ziŠre - Saint-Malo (79 km / 49 miles) or Rennes - Grand-Fougeray (64 km / 40 miles). A number of small steam locomotives were available for operation on the TIV lines: 12 Tramway steam locomotives (road numbers 1-12, Ct, 1897/98 Blanc-Misseron), 41 three-axle units (road numbers 51-69, Ct, 1901/02 and road numbers 70-91, Ct, 1908-14, both series from Corpet-Louvet) four 0-4-4-0T Mallet tank locomotives (road numbers 101-104, 1897, Corpet-Louvet), and two four-axle units (road numbers 201-202, 1931, Corpet-Louvet). The first line abandonments began as early as 1937, and the history of the TIV ended with the stopping of operation between Rennes and Saint Malo in 1950. The small three-axle unit with the road number 75 remained preserved as the only TIV steam locomotive. Yet, before the abandonment of the last line, it was sold along with its sibling locomotive road number 73 to the firm of Lambert in Vaujours en Seine et Marne, where both units were hauling freight cars filled with gypsum. After they were taken out of service in 1959, both units were in danger of being scrapped in 1962, but road number 75 emerged unscathed. Due to its better condition it was set up as a memorial in the museum at Saint-Mande and was even equipped with the smoke stack from road number 73 since its own smoke stack had been broken. After the museum was closed in the Eighties, this unit was acquired in 1987 by the "F‚d‚ration des amis des chemins de fer secondaires" (FACS) and ran for the first time in November of 1989 at the "Mus‚e des tramways … vapeur et des chemins de fer secondaires fran‡ais" (MTVS). This museum is located at the train station of Valmondois in Butry-sur-Oise, 30 km / 19 miles north of Paris. Starting in 1996 this locomotive was due for a main overhaul, which turned out to be rather extensive due to the accumulations of gypsum. It was not until October 1, 2011 as part of the "Festivals of Steam" that the last remainder of the TIV could be presented under steam again on a kilometer / 0.63 mile long museum line.

The 33201 passenger car and 40077 freight car are available to go with this locomotive.

First time as an HSB locomotive with sound.

Comment: HSB Diesel Locomotive Road Number 199 011 (Kö II) After World War II, around 350 small locomotives of Output Group II (Kb/Kö/Köf II) remained in the GDR on the German State Railroad (DR). They were successfully standardized and improved. More powerful motors were installed over the years, the last series of motors with 125 horsepower output. In addition, by 1962 the DR had 42 Kö/Köf II units copied. From 1970 on the units were designated with the computer-generated class 100. In the process, 295 units with wheel gear boxes were designated as the class 100.1-7, the 78 locomotives with hydraulic drive were designated as the class 100.8-9. In the joint numbering plan of the DB and DR, the DR's small locomotives were given the new class designation 310. In 1983, the DR looked for cost-effective alternatives to replace worn out diesel locomotives for the roller freight car service on the narrow gauge lines (1,000 mm / 39") of the Halle/Saale industrial railroad. They were found in the standard gauge small locomotives, road numbers 100 128 (former Kö 4028II) and 287 (former Kö 4187). After having their gauge changed and after replacing the standard gauge coupler and buffer equipment with the kind used for the roller freight car service nothing more stood in the way of using them as road numbers 199 003 and 004. The DR adapted three small locomotives for the Harzquer and Brocken lines in the same manner. In 1984, road number 199 010 emerged from road number 100 325 (former Kb 4325), and in 1991 came road numbers 199 011 and 012 from the conversion of road numbers 100 639 (former Kö 4639) and 213 (former Kb 4113). On these three units, the cabs were pulled in below and the side brakeman's steps were made narrower due to the loading gauge. Road numbers 199 003 and 004 were put into storage in Halle after the roller freight car service was halted in 1991 and were retired in September of 1992. Road number 199 004 went in 2006 to the BSW Group at the Halle P maintenance facility, which placed it on a small memorial base in the same year at the same facility. In June of 2007, road number 199 003 was acquired from the IG Hirzberg Railroad and was transferred in the same month to the association headquarters in Georgenthal. By contrast, road number 199 010-012 was given number 399 114-116 for a short while in the new numbering plan of 1992. Since 1993, it has been back in its old road number on the roster of the Harz Narrow Gauge Railways (HSB). It was busy as in the past in switching work at the stations of Wernigerode, Nordhausen, and Gernrode and was taken out of service with the exception of road number 199 011 by October of 1999 due to no longer being needed. Road number 199 011 served until the end of October of 2015 as a switch engine at the locomotive maintenance facility at Wernigerode-Westerntor and had to be taken out of service due to expired maintenance deadlines. By contrast road number 199 012 was reactivated. It had spent the last sixteen years in the locomotive hall at Ilfeld. Its good state of preservation helped this 82-year old locomotive as a successor to a "second career". After a successful overhaul, it has been available for use again for the next several years starting in November of 2015.

Comment: RhB Class Ge 2/4 Electric Locomotive In 1913, the Rhaetian Railroad (RhB) purchased seven smaller Ge 2/4 locomotives with the road numbers 201-207 for lighter service in addition to four large Ge 4/6 electric locomotives. This was for its newly built electric line Engadin between Samedan and Scuol-Tarasp. These 8.7 meter / 28-1/2 foot long side rod locomotives scurried across the country at up to 45 km/h / 28 mph, had an output of 228 kilowatts / 305.75 horsepower, and weighed 36.7 metric tons. A repulsion motor with a double brush set (D‚ri motor) supplied the drive. It featured a high starting torque and jerk-free startup. The power was transmitted from the motor to the jackshaft by means of diagonal drive rods and then further by means of side rods to the two sets of driving wheels. Three units (road numbers 201, 202, and 206) were converted between 1943 and 1946 to switch engines with a central cab and two hoods. Two other conversions followed in 1945/46 with the goal of achieving a considerable increase in output for use as road engines. On road numbers 203 (new: 221) and 204 (new: 222) practically the entire electrical equipment as well as the power transmission was replaced. The output was increased to 456 kilowatts / 611.5 horsepower by installing new fast running single-phase motors. The drive to the jackshaft was now done with a gearbox and a new transformer provided regulated traction motor voltage by means of a camshaft relay. The maximum speed was thereby increased to 55 km/h / 34 mph. In addition, a separately excited direct current resistance brake system was installed. The braking resistors for this were mounted on the roof in place of a second pantograph. These increases in output and speed allowed both locomotives to be used as motive power on the steeply graded Albula line. After the arrival of the powerful, six-axle newly designed Ge 6/6 II locomotives, road numbers 701-707, by 1965 road numbers 221 and 222 were gradually pushed into subordinate (switching work) service. Especially in the high winter season when all available powered units were in use, they were often seen as motive power for the so-called "Schlittelzügen" / "Sledding Trains" between Preda and Bergün. They were also occasionally seen in pusher service on the short but steeply graded Albula south ramp. While road number Ge 2/4 221 had to leave service in 1998 and was soon thereafter scrapped, its sibling was preserved. It is housed as a historic unit in Landquart, and occasionally it attracts particular attention as motive power for special trains.

This locomotive will go well with the new 31522 and 32522 RhB passenger cars or the 34553 baggage car.

Comment: Sylt VG Wismar T 25 Rail Bus In 1928, the state office in Hannover for short line railroads developed suggestions for long-term improvement of passenger service on short line railroads in order to replace the uneconomical and badly overburdened passenger trains hauled by steam locomotives. A lightweight powered rail car was required with low procurement costs, simple, inexpensive maintenance by using mass-produced truck parts, low operating costs, and one-man operation as well as use in both directions without the need to turn the unit. The problem of a sturdy and cost-effective drive system was solved resourcefully and affordably: A mass-produced truck motor with gear drive from Ford was simply used at both ends of the car, including all of the accessories such as the tank, universal shaft, motor hood, brakes, etc. The firm Waggonfabrik Wismar thus built such a rail bus with lightweight construction methods and the total weight of the car could be kept at six metric tons. The airbase commandant List on the Isle of Sylt also purchased such a Hannover-E design Wismar rail bus. Starting on November 25, 1935, it was used as the class T 13 to transport material and personnel on the narrow gauge Isle of Sylt Railroad (1,000 mm / 39 inches) to the armed forces support points. The narrow gauge powered rail car had a wheelbase of 3.5 meters / 11 feet 6 inches, 20 upholstered seats, and 16 fold-over seats. A coupling drawbar hanging under the hood served to haul a trailer unit. In 1949, the T 13 was acquired in addition to other units by the Isle of Sylt Railroad that was absorbed into the Sylt Transportation, Inc. (SVG) in 1954. There this rail bus was given the designation T 25. Several years later one of the two Ford motors had to be replaced by a Borgward motor with a corresponding Borgward hood. The T 25 was thus given its last characteristic look. The T 25 often ran in conjunction with the Wismar T 22 that came originally from airbase commandant Hörnum on Sylt. The T 25 had already been put into storage before operations ceased on the Isle of Sylt Railroad on December 29, 1970. The railroad was sold to the German Railroad Association (DEV) in 1969. There it was used as a source of spare parts for the restoration of the association's T 41 (former Steinhude Moor Railroad). The remainder of the T 25 was scrapped in 1969 at the Bremen-Seebaldsbrück maintenance facility.

Comment: 500 Years of the Purity Law for Beer On April 23, 1516, the Bavarian dukes Wilhelm IV and Ludwig X issued in Ingolstadt one of the few laws that was to exist for centuries beyond that time. The Purity Law for Beer still defines not only but chiefly the German art of brewing and is considered the oldest food products law in the world still in existence and in effect. Its origin can be found in the Landshut Succession War of 1504/05 ("Bavarian Feud"), which led to the reunification of the Bavarian dukedom fragments. This resulted in the need to harmonize the Bavarian state laws that finally led to a new state ordinance for all of Bavaria. A component part of this new ordinance was the "Bavarian Purity Law". In addition to the regulation of beer prices (which naturally changed over the course of time), every part of the purity law remained largely in effect up to the current times. The purity law dictated the exclusive use of barley, hops, and water in the brewing of beer. In the original text, it was formulated as follows. "We especially want that forthwith everywhere in our cities, towns, markets, and in the countryside no other parts than exclusively barley, hops, and water be used and employed for any beer." This text was changed many times in the past five centuries. Barley mutated to barley malt, later simply malt. The limitation to barley initially served to eliminate food shortage. Wheat was supposed to be used only to make bread. Finally, years later the limitation to barley was abandoned in favor of other types of grain. A fermentation process such as for beer production naturally also requires an initiator, but at that time, it was not yet mentioned. At least impurities with fungal spores leads in most cases to the desired success. Louis Pasteur (1822-1895) was the first to describe that the starting of a fermentation process is caused by a substance consisting of microorganisms (yeast) that consist of a multitude of single-cell fungi. Hence, since the 19th century beer can be brewed with the following: malt, hops, yeast, and water.
