The Harz narrow gauge railroads in era V

Era V (from 1990) is characterized by the modernization and preservation of historic railroad technology. After the reunification of Germany, the Harz narrow-gauge railroads were transferred to an independent company, which has set itself the task of preserving steam operation as a tourist attraction and a functioning means of transport. The class 99 locomotives were extensively maintained and partially modernized in order to meet the requirements of modern railroad operations.

Care and maintenance

Regular care is recommended to ensure that the steam locomotive functions reliably in the long term and retains its detailed appearance. The wheels and pantographs should be cleaned at regular intervals to ensure optimum power consumption. The drive rods and running gear should also be checked regularly for smooth running and lightly oiled if necessary.
