This pair of standard-gauge six-coupled tanks were Jung works #2242-2243 (Bielstein and Waldbrÿl , respectively). They served the kleinbahn as both passenger and freight engines for several decades. Passenger traffic died off in the thirties, but freight traffic continued strong enought that when Bieldstein was retired in the 1950s and replaced by a BR 92 tank, Waldbrÿl was renamed Bielstein and continued on.
After Waldbrÿl's final retirement on 30 June 1966, it was plinthed for a while, then trucked to a shelter for restoration. At the time of the website's construction in 2006, there was insufficient money to perform a complete reconditioning, although there was hope. And the hope was not misplaced. The Eisenbahnmuseum Dieringhausen restored the engine to service in 2008. Beginning in 2010, the Bergische Lÿwe was organized to work with the museum in sponsoring tourist runs with the Waldbrÿl.
