Steam carriage M124.001
Four-wheel steam carriage M124.001 with vertical boiler of
the Viennese firm Komarek was manufactured in 1903 in the
Ringhoffer wagon factory at Prague-Smichov with the serial
number 65168. The carriage of the original designation
1.001 of the Austrian State Railways (kkStB) was supplied
for the local railway Ceska Kamenice - Kamenicky Senov
- Ceska Lipa where, however, it did not prove well because
of its low power output. Therefore, it was fitted with
a higher output boiler in 1905 and was transferred to the
local railway Louny - Libochovice. The Czechoslovak Railways
transferred it to Dobruska in 1926 where it was put out of
service in 1947 and included into collections of the
National Technical Museum. Technical specification: axle
arrangement A1, two-cylinder compound steam engine with flat
slide valves and modified valve gear Joy, suction service
brake and hand-operated backup brake.
