sswcharlie Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 Hi After WW2 the allies returned with I think about 5 Breuer shunting locos that had been captured in Europe, Middle East. Have any of these survived in museums or on display somewhere. The are only telephone box size!! Thanks Charles Harris Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
EddieB Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 Breuer built several hundred of these locos, and they were dispersed widely around Europe where a few have survived in preservation. But even if some were brought back to the UK (is there a reference?), I'm pretty sure that none survive in this country - I can find no records of any existing here.

RMweb Gold The Johnster Posted January 17, 2017 RMweb Gold Share Posted January 17, 2017 Sorry to go OT so soon, but it is a bit related; lengths of captured WW1 German Feldbahn track survive on Steep Holm island in the Bristol Channel, having been installed in WW2 to handle shells for the AA batteries on the island. I believe fuel drums for the searchlight generators were also carried. There was a cable incline from the beach and the wagons were hand pushed the rest of the way, no locos were used.
