What an interesting mystery that cute little locomotive is! I could not find any certain answers, but it seems that Schoenner is something of a confusing mess when it comes to their poorly documented products and their confusing use of gauges. I just consulted Gustav Reder's "Mit Uhrwerk, Dampf und Strom" in the hope to find some enlightenment there, but all I got was a confirmation of my confusion. Anyway, the very similar, unusual design of the side tanks with their holes leads me to believe that this might indeed be a Schoenner locomotive. The steam dome and the safety valve, however, look quite different from the locomotive in the old catalogue picture. So I guess that Schoenner acted probably cost-conscious and used certain parts for various locomotives across gauges. Since precise adherence to scale was not yet a factor (and since the customers back then certainly didn't pay any attention to that in the first place), that wouldn't have been a problem. So although I really can't say for sure whether this is indeed a Schoenner locomotive, I think it's quite possible.
That is really cool .... I've never seen one of those!!!!
❤ Le bruit de la tôle est superbe ❤
his firebox is on fire!
Klasse 👍👍👍
Looks like an Ernst Plank body/frame
Do you have any pictures of a similar locomotive?
I’ll go back to my books again 😊
looks like an early wilesco as it’s looks like one of them
Wilesco? How did you get to that conclusion? Do you have documentation about that?
@ because early on they made trains so as a guess it’s one of them
I don't know the manufacturer of this locomotive, have never seen it before but it's interesting 👍👍
