Both my website, steamlocomotive.info and Wes Barris's site (steamlocomotive.com) list a Henschel 0-4-0T (C/N 25212) in Marquette, IA http://www.steamlocomotive.info/vlocomotive.cfm?Display=1467 It isn't there anymore. Relatives of the last known owner of the locomotive say that it was sold to someone "in Michigan" in the 1980s. Anybody got a clue as to the whereabouts of this little critter? Regards, Doug Bailey, www.steamlocomotive.info |

What gauge was this? It could be a candidate to be at the Hesston (Indiana) operation - I believe they have a Henschel - and that is close to MICHIGAN City, Indiana. Bob Kutella |

Bob's suggestion seems a likely candidate. Hesston is home to Koblem Danake Werke 0-4-0T, #1930, 2 foot gauge. Bulit in 1940 in Czechoslovakia for WWII, but was hidden as the German Army invaded. Never operated until brought to Hesston. (Above info from the 9/06 Trains Magazine) Besides being close to MICHIGAN City, Hesston itself isn't that far from the Indiana/Michigan state line either. |
