Schoema Diesellok (Diesel locomotive) No 17 "Viking"
Description: English below

Vorbild:
Diese Lok wurde von Schöma von Deutschland im Jahr 1958 gebaut und im Jahre 1992 von der Isle of Man Bahngesellschaft gekauft um dieTriebwagen zu ersetzen die nach vielen Jahren der Vernachlässigung das Ende ihrer Nutzungsdauer erreicht hatten. Im Rahmen der Feierlichkeiten "Jahr der Bahn" im Jahr 1993 und durch einen Wettbewerb in der lokalen Presse, wurde die Lokomotive "Viking" benannt, der Name der ursprünglich, im Jahre 1873, der Nummer 3 Pender Lok zugeteilt wurde. Die Lok wurde dunkelgrün lackiert, ähnlich wie die Nr. 10 G H Wood zu dieser Zeit..
In späteren Jahren durch mechanische Probleme betroffen, erscheint die Nr. 17 Lok jetzt in gras-grüner Lackierung nach Kommentaren von örtlichen Eisenbahnfreunden, dass es eine Lok in dieser Farbgebung geben sollte. Während diese Lok in der Regel keinen Personenverkehr beförderte, wurde sie doch so während der Saison 2010 eingesetzt da die vorgesehene Dampflokomotive ausfiel. Diese Lok wurde normalerweise während der jährlichen Bahn-Feste betrieben, "Rush Hour" im April / Mai jedes Jahres und beim Manx Heritage Verkehrs Festival im Juli.
Diese Lok ist zur Zeit abgestellt und nicht betriebsfähig, ihre Zukunft lst ungewiss.

English

This engine was built by Schöma of Germany in 1958 and purchased by the railway in 1992 replacing the time-expired railcars which after many years of neglect were reaching the end of their useful lives. As part of the Year of Railways celebrations in 1993 and following competition in the local press, the locomotive was named Viking, the name originally to have been allocated to No. 3 Pender back in 1873. The locomotive was repainted in a dark green livery similar to that carried by No. 10 G.H.Wood at the time.
Beset in latter years by mechanical problems, No. 17 is now in the spring green livery following comments made by local preservationists that a loco should appear in this colour scheme. While usually restricted to non-passenger services, No. 17 saw some use in traffic during the 2010 season owing to steam locomotive failure; it is usually in operation as part of the annual railway-based events of Rush Hour in April/May each year and the Manx Heritage Transport Festival each July.
The locomotive is currently stored and unserviceable, her future remains uncertain.
