The Prototype:
In 1899, the locomotive maker Krauss of Linz, Austria delivered one of its famous U series steam locomotives, No. 4182, to the Friedlander Regional Railway (FBB), which was then located in the Austrian-German border area. It operated as FBB 1 Ehrlich. In 1918, the locomotive became CSD U 37007 of the Czechoslovakian National Railway. Around 1939, the locomotive became the Deutsche Reichsbahn's No. 99791 and was deployed on the HetzdorfGrosswaltersdorf narrow gauge line. The loco was damaged during an air raid, and in 1945, it was taken in 1945 to the DR repair shop in Chemnitz. From there it was used by the Prignitz regional narrow gauge railway. After expropriation of the private railways in East Germany, it was renamed to DR 994712, and finally, it was taken out of service on November 15, 1965. That ended the memorable history of this famous Austrian locomotive in Germany.

Technical Features:
- Smoke generator
- Automatic directional lighting
- Twin front and rear lanterns
- Lighted cab
- Electronic voltage stabilization circuit
- Three-way control switch in cab
- Rear lighting socket
- Traction tyre
- Furnished cab with instrument panel and engineer
- Prototypical livery and lettering
- Detailed, operating driving gear with four powered wheels

- Metal plated lantern rings, bell, whistle and driving rods
- Drive unit with seven-pole BOhler motor sheltered from dust and dirt.
- Illumination: At the front are two working lanterns. These lanterns automatically turn off when the locomotive is run in reverse. Now two rear lanterns are illuminated.
Drive Mechanism: This model is powered by a seven pole Bühler motor. Three axles are powered. One wheel is equipped with a traction tyre.
To change the bulbs, the lamp rings and glasses should be removed. The blown bulb can be removed either with the fingers or with a pair of tweezers. The driver's cab bulb can be removed by pushing a pair of tweezers through the driver's cab door. An electronic voltage stabilizer circuit helps to keep a steady light in the lanterns from very low speeds to high speeds. Lighting sockets are mounted at the rear of the driver's cab. These sockets can be used to power LGB electrical accessories such as the "Sound of Steam" Boxcar LGB No. 41351 or Interior Lighting Sets LGB No. 68330 (3030).
Smoke Generator: Enclosed with the locomotive is a small supply of smoke fluid, which allows you to run your locomotive with "steam". The smokestack should only be filled halfway with smoke fluid. This allows the smoke generator to develop sufficient heat to evaporate the smoke fluid. The smoke is harmless and safe. The smokestack can be easily refilled with the LGB Smoke Fluid (Nr. 50010). Because of the voltage stabilizer, running your engine without smoke fluid will not damage the smoke generator. Attention: Do not touch the fire tube as it can be broken very easily.
Replacing of a defective smoke generator: To change the smoke generator, carefully lift out the safety cover of the smoke stack with a small lever to avoid damage. After that, the smoke generator should be pulled out carefully with needle-nosed pliers by grasping the center heating pipe. The wires to the old generator should be cut and reconnected to the replacement generator according to illustration 4. Do not forget td replace the safety cover.
Methods of operation: You can choose how to operate your engine by using the three-way switch in the engineer's cab:
- Switch position 0 = All power off
- Switch position 1 = Power to lights and smoke generator only
- Switch position 2 = Power to lights, smoke generator and motor Cleaning: Dirty locomotives can be cleaned using detergent and water.
Lubrication: The axles should be occasionally lubricated from with a drop of LGB Maintenance Oil (Nr. 51021). No other lubrication is necessary. Motor replacement: This should only be carried out in a specialist workshop. Should you however decide to do this, naturally at your own risk, you should take care to ensure that when the connecting rods are replaced onto the wheel pivots that the wheels do not jam when rotated. Badly fitted connecting rods lead to unsatisfactory locomotive driving characteristics and can also lead to premature gearbox faults. Should the motor and/or warm and spur gears be replaced the these should be subsequently greased with LGB-Gearbox grease 51020.
Replacing the wheel sets, power pick-Up shoes and commutation brushes (Fig. 5): The chassis bottom can be lifted off after removing five screws. After unscrewing the coupling shaft screws, the wheel sets, power pick-up shoes and commutation brushes can be replaced. When the wheels are replaced, the gears and axle bearings must be adequately lubricated with LGB Graphite Lubricant (51020). During assembly when the coupling rod is screwed into the pivot, it is vitally important to make sure that the coupling rod does not clamp at any wheel position. This would otherwise inevitably cause poor driving quality and may even destroy the gear.
