Description: Documentation regarding setting up the control file: http://www.mediafire.com/file/comobsjk8vbijko/ReadMe.pdf Documentation regarding handling this loco: http://www.mediafire.com/file/3xiwmc3zf0v7mda/ReadMe_G11_1931.pdf/file During World War II a large number of steam locomotives were produced in England of Austerity type. After World War II a lot of these steam locomotives were remained in the countries they served. SJ bought 1953 2 engines from Holland, that would operate unelectrified lines in western Sweden on the former private railway HNJ. In Sweden, the two locomotives were rebuilt with enclosed cabin and 3-axis tender. The work was made in Örebro. The two locomotives were, however, only in service until late 1950s. One of the two locomotives (SJ G11 1931) was sold to England in the 1970s and has been rebuilt to its original appearance. The locomotive is the only preserved of this locomotive type, which was built in a large (800) amount. Under andra världskriget tillverkades ett stort antal ånglok i England av s.k. Austerity typ. Efter världskrigets slut så kom en hel del av dessa ånglok att förbli i de länder de tjänstgjort. SJ köpte 1953 2 stycken krigslok från Holland som skulle trafikera oelektrifierade linjer i västra Sverige och då på f.d. HNJ. I Sverige byggdes de 2 loken om till bl.a. sluten hytt och 3-axlig tender. Arbetet gjordes i Örebro. De 2 loken kom dock att bara tjänstgöra till slutet av 1950-talet. Ett av loken (SJ G11 1931) blev sålt till England under 1970-talet och har byggts om till sitt ursprungligt utseende. Detta lok (f.d. SJ G11 1931) är det enda bevarade av denna lok typ som byggdes i en STOR mängd. |
