Slightly bigger this time.

For one point, please respond and identify this truck, the year and its engine.

Spring fair 1951 in Leipzig the LOWA union company presented a 65 HP steam tractor. To achieve independence from liquid combustible it was fueled by coal or coke.
The steam tractor was originally developed during war by Sachsenberg-Werft in Roßlau/GDR. After 1945 the project was continued by engineer office Fritsch of Dresden.
The Werdau built 65 HP vehicle was fired by coke and was tested for an extended period by the institute for rail vehicles.
1951 was also a 125 HP roadgoing steam mashine fueled by lignite briquettes built by the LOWA factory in Vetschau/Lausitz (GDR).
Due to technical problems (flying sparks) the high expectations didn't fullfill and a production was cancelled.

I guess my pic shows the 125 HP steamer.

Wendax · « **Reply #21 on:** April 21, 2011, 05:39:04 AM »

I think both pictures show the same car. But whether it is the 65 hp or the 125 hp version, I don't know. My guess would be the 65 hp, since it was the first one, more likely to be published.

Allemano · « **Reply #22 on:** April 21, 2011, 05:43:00 AM »

We won't find an answer within in a minute..

Wendax · « **Reply #23 on:** April 21, 2011, 05:51:15 AM »

I found some more pictures: the catalogue for the DW 65 from the trade fair 1951 and a model in the Verkehrsmuseum Dresden. Perhaps the model shows the 125 hp version.
