Large-scale operation:
HSB diesel locomotive 199 006 (type V 10 C) as a further development of the Army field railway type HF 130 C, the VEB locomotive construction "Karl Marx" (LKM) in Potsdam-Babelsberg produced the narrow-gauge locomotives of the type NS 4 in the 1950er. A 90 hp engine provided the necessary drive power and worked on the three wheel sets via a four-speed gear transmission, blind shaft and coupling rods. The NS4 type was subsequently used by LKM to produce the V 10 C narrow-gauge diesel locomotive A 100 hp engine from the VEB diesel engine plant in Schönebeck and a modern exterior appearance were the most striking features of these machines, which were produced for gauges between 600 and 1,000 mm with about 500 units. Only a few machines were immediately taken to the German State Railways (DR). After the suspension of the Spreewaldbahn (1,000 mm), the Cottbuser city area had to be operated on a remnant of the military airfield with tank wagons loaded on trolley (aircraft fuel) and shunted on the meter-long Cottbuser tram. DR bought two V 10 C locomotives built in 1964 from the VEB impregnation and chipboard plant Gotha on September 25, 1969 and refitted them as the and 7002 (from July 1, 1970: 100 905 and 906, from August 15, 1973: 199 005 and 006). In February 1983 the connecting track to the airport was changed to a regular track. Both diesel locomotives were last used for the dismantling trains, then they were implemented for the Harzquer and Brockenbahn, where they arrived at Wernigerode on 26 March 1983. In the Harz, the small diesel locomotives earned their daily bread with shunting work in the Gernrode, Nordhausen and Wernigerode stations. With the closure of narrow-gauge freight transport on 1 April 1990, these tasks were largely eliminated. Therefore, the DR finally stopped the two small locomotives on April 10, 1991, and then exhibited them a little later. In the 1992 outline plan, they were still briefly listed as 399 112 and 113, and on 1 February 1993 they were transferred under their old operating numbers to the stock of the now privatized Harzer Schmaltbahnen GmbH (HSB). The HSB provided the non-operational diesel locomotives parked in Nordhausen Nord as a permanent loan of the "IG Harzer Schmaltspurbahnen" for maintenance. The 199 005 was loaded onto a truck trailer by crane on June 29, 2018 and reached its old home, the Spreewald forest in Straupitz, a day later as a permanent loan from the HSB to the IG Spreewaldbahn. After an external reworking, the locomotive will become the highlight of the museum area of the association in future.
