At October the 15th 2004, when driving from Gothenburg to Stockholm for Hans Hammarstens Westridge Mini Meet, I did stop on the way for taking some photos on a simplex loco at FMBBM.
The pictures are a bit dark, the time got to five in the afternoon when I arrived, got delayed by work, but rather ok anyhow thanks to my measure-stick which I used as a ´tripod´ or maybe I should I call it a ´single pod´.
Both rails are 2 foot gauge. ÖSLJ is a few miles west of Stockholm.
On the way home I did also stop at Läggesta (end-station of ÖSLJ) and took some nice photos on a Nyberget ore wagon.

Each black and white part is 1 foot and the smaller ones are 1 inch long. The red ends are 3in long. Much easier to measure afterwards when you have something to compare with, instead of measuring every part by hand on the spot.Pict8518. -- Closeup on the weightPict8522 -- Closeup on the weight, another angle.Pict8543 -- Closeup on the weight, other side.Pict8565Pict8587 -- Left side, under the hood.Pict8595 -- Right side, under the hood.Pict8600 -- Right side, closer, upper.Pict8597 -- Right side, closer, lower.Pict8583 -- CabinPict8585 -- CabinPict8576 -- Compressor on wheels.
