SD-9 storage battery locomotives

The loco type SD-9, often called track-coolie are made by Northern-Hungarian Building Machine Repairing and Constructing Company in the 60-70ies. The very simple construction is still working in some brickyards (for example in Törökszentmiklós), and a sawmill in Vinye. The 2-axle 9-12 HP loco, which can crawl forward with 6, backward with 10 km/h, originally equipped with single-cylinder diesel engine type BL-12 and chain-drive.

3119,0001 (Yellow Barrow)

Our loco no. 3119,0001 is in working order, and owned by Dr. Zsolt Kelemen. Due to its low speed and weakness, we use it only for shunting vehicles, and it is working good. Its silent operating is a good point, too. This loco is under renewal at the moment.

3119,0002 (Red Barrow)

The loco no. 3119,0002 have been dismounted and transported for complete renewal by its owner, Dr. Zsolt Kelemen in 2004. The work is still in progress.
