The Forest Railway Muskau (WEM) website supplied the data. Hilax operated for a succession of industrial railways. It came by the WEM in 1998.
The Forest Railway Muskau (WEM) website supplied the data. Number 5 operated first for the Steinwerke Dubrin GmbH in Dubring.It was obtained by the WEM in 1989.
This appears to be an Arthur Koppel 50-hp tank locomotive as described at Locobase 4438. The tonnage ratings given at the latter site wouldn't be too far off for this locomotive.
