Nice job with the restoration!

What year was the steam shovel erected and what is it's capacity?

Ummmm sorry cannot really tell. I was just visiting

No problem. I think I found the information I was interested in.

Builder: DEMAG AG
Serial 5363
Erected in 1927


Found in 1975, retired as a steam excavator in a bush on the Main in the district of Bamberg.

The horizontal reversible twin steam engine makes 25-30 hp which is used both for locomotion and for the craneworks. Each ‘bucket’ can hold 3 tons. The boiler is a vertical type, 7 square meters of heating surface, 0.55 square meters grate area and a working pressure 8 bar. The boiler has 2 injectors with a third injector available.

Sounds good

I know this place and have a picture of this in my collection.

What is the plan for the red BR 140?

Well she belongs to someone private and I heard he is planning to restore it and use it again for trains
