On the basis of the LGB toy locomotive "Otto" I built the "99 5802". I took the original from "Taschenbuch Deutsche Schmalspur-Dampflokomotiven" by Horst J. Obermayer. Further data and drawings can be found in: Kieper/Preuß "Schmalspur zwischen Ostsee und Erzgebirge"; Alba Verlag; chapter 2.5.3. (The book has been republished in 2011 by transpress as "DDR-Schmalsurbahn-Archiv".) The prototype was built in 1894 by Hagans for the Stadtbahn Halle and in 1949 registered as 995802 from the DDR Reichsbahn. Service endet in 1967.
