Description

Road number 99 1561-2 had its honor or misfortune to go through farewell tours on different narrow gauge lines in Saxony. For example, it provided motive power for the last train on June 2, 1973, on the line Wilkau-Haßlau - Kirchberg. The most popular farewell appearance for road number 99 1561-2 was probably on September 30, 1984, for on that day it ended passenger service on the German State Railroad scheduled route No. 422, the legendary Preßnitz Valley Railroad Wolkenstein - JOhstadt. Since these farewell tours were accompanied in many instances photographically by railroad fans, they attracted a lot of attention and fame. This locomotive shows the typical condition at the end of the (Saxon) narrow gauge railroads shortly before the abandonment of these lines. For example, "souvenir hunters" have robbed the locomotive of its locomotive signs on the ends. For that reason, a black piece of sheet metal had a new sign "crafted" with a number stencil, a brush, and white paint. The overhaul date was done freehand on the locomotive without a stencil. All these unique, individual lettering details make this class IV K something rather special and are of course realized on the model! This means that the authenticity of the degenerate charm of the end of the Saxon narrow gauge railroads can truly be experienced and reproduced on any LGB layout. The model has a multiple station stop announcement with the stations of the last passenger train run on the Preßnitz Valley Railroad to enable attendance on September 30, 1984, in a scale of 1:22.5. Also included are two stickers with the occasion written on this day on the locomotive using chalk. These stickers can be cemented to the water tanks on the LGB model. Currently, road number 99 1561-2 is stored non-operational at "Wild Robert", the DOllnitz Railroad, in the maintenance facility at Mugeln.

All the wheelsets are driven by two powerful ball bearing high-efficiency motors. Traction tires. The locomotive has an mfx/DCC decoder with many sound and light functions, headlights that change over with the direction of travel, cab lighting, and a smoke unit with steam exhaust synchronized with the wheels.
Length over the buffers 48 cm / 18-7/8".

The photo of road number 99 1561-2 on September 30, 1984, in front of the locomotive shed at Wolkenstein shown on the back cover page of this catalog shows the locomotive in exactly the condition reproduced by this LGB new item.

Preorders: Frequently Asked Questions

What is preordering and why would I want to do that?

In the model railroading world, most products are made in limited runs. Manufacturers no longer produce large quantities to sit in warehouses. Instead, they announce new items and set a preorder deadline. After that date, production is based largely on the number of reservations received.

Preordering through Model Train Stuff guarantees your spot in line for these limited releases. When the products arrive, orders are filled in the order they were placed. The earlier you preorder, the better your chance of getting your items, even if there are shipping delays or shortfalls from the manufacturer.

Preordering is as easy as 1-2-3!
  1. Preordering is available on any item with the word "Preorder" as the first word in the product title.
  2. We will email your invoice approximately 30-45 days before your preorder items land at the warehouse. With the interactive invoice you can select your preferred shipping method and pay the balance of your order right online!
  3. We'll ship you your preorder once your invoice is paid online.
