DFB HG 4/4 Rack Steam Locomotive VI (DCC-Sound)

The class HG 4/4, No. 708 is part of those locomotives with an exciting life. It was built in 1930 at SLM in Winterthur. Then it came to the French railroad company of that time Compagnie Génerale de Colonies Paris, to Indochina, the current Vietnam. Wartime disagreements dampened the fire in its boiler. Its fate appeared sealed. Yet the enthusiasts of the association "Furka Mountain Line Steam Railroad" in Switzerland remembered this rack railroad locomotive, and it was deemed worthy to purchase this locomotive for the Furka Mountain Line.

In 1990, they were successful in bringing back this unit as well as its sister HG 4/4 704. No. 704 has been active for a number of years. It was restored in the steam locomotive shops in Uzwil. No. 708 was also completely overhauled there by 2023 and in the summer of 2024 was put into service on the DFB. Starting in the summer season of 2025 it will run on this spectacular mountain line.
