Braunschweig Schoeninger Eisenbahn 2-6-0 Locomotives in Germany
Class Details by Steve Llanso of Sweat House Media
Class 151 (Locobase 4934)
Described on the Hildesheim Peine Kreiseisenbahn (HPKE) website [
] (December 2001). Works numbers 9583-5.
These low-drivered Mogul tanks were operated on the BSE until the late 1940s. 151 was loaned to the HKPE in 1947 (#155) and sold outright in 1949. 152 went to the HKPE in 1948 (#156), 153 in 1949 (#157). All three served out their time on the HKPE, 155 & 157 being retired in 1964, 156 in 1965. All three were scrapped in 1965.
