DSB 288 Diesel Shunter286 viewsThis is a Köf II, originally a German army design from the wartime. Köf II stands for "Kleinlokomotive, ölgefeuert, II Generation" or small locomotive, (diesel) oil powered, second generation. The original idea was that it was easier to move trains in the vicinity of enemy during war time when there was no cloud of smoke to reveal the engine. Germany, which had invaded Denmark, forced also Danish factories to build several types of German locomotives and the Danes continued making them after the war. This one has been built by Frichs in Denmark 1947, but Köf IIs were built in Denmark all the time until 1969.

The Roberts Engine285 viewsThe Roberts engine at Bancroft is a two cylinder horizontal cross-compound engine. ‘Compound’ means that the steam first passes through the high pressure cylinder (James) and then the low pressure cylinder (Mary Jane) to extract as much energy from the steam as possible. Efficiency is further improved by a condenser in the cellar which condenses the exhaust steam creating a vacuum which increases the effective pressure across the low pressure cylinder.
