THE PROTOTYPE
In 1960, Christoph Schöttler Machine
Works (SCHOEMA) built two modern
diesel-hydraulic narrow gauge locos
for the Alsen'schen Portland-
Cement-Fabriken KG (Alsen Cement
Factory) in the northern German
town of Itzehoe. This company oper-
ated a railroad with the unusual
gauge of 860 mm. After the cement
factory rail operations ceased, the
two locos were sold to the Furka-
Oberalp-Bahn (FO) in Switzerland. To
run on the Swiss 1000 mm lines, the
locos were regauged, a task made
easy by their outside frame construc-
tion.
To enable the locos to double-head
trains with one engineer, they have
been equipped with multiple-unit
controls. In 2003, the Furka-Oberalp-
Bahn (FO) merged with the Brig-
Visp-Zermatt-Bahn (BVZ) to form the
Matterhorn-Gotthard-Bahn (MGB).
The small Schoema locos were
repainted and lettered to reflect the
name change. The locos continue to
be used for light switching duties
and to haul work trains.
