The locations of the vehicles are listed because steam storage locomotives were not mainline locomotives, but were procured as shunting locomotives from industrial companies and are now largely inoperable as a monument. In addition, there has never been a designation system according to series for all operators of steam storage locomotives, which is why the individual locomotives are listed by manufacturer, serial number and wheel arrangement. The wheel arrangement has the abbreviation "-fl" for fireless.

Steam storage locomotive G.E.E.2
Year of construction 1953 - for Winterhall AG Lingen-Holthausen
Posted at AW Lingen after service.
From 2009 at the Museumseisenbahn-Friesoythe-Cloppenburg e.V.

Type: fireless steam locomotive

A steam storage locomotive is often referred to as a fireless locomotive.
In contrast to the classic steam locomotive, the
Steam storage locomotive does not have its own combustion system to generate steam.
It is therefore tied to a stationary steam generator.
The lack of combustion made them suitable for use in chemical plants with fire and
potentially explosive substances.
Due to the dependence on steam sources, their radius of action is limited.
Before it is put into operation, the locomotive's boiler is filled with water.
This water is then heated with steam.
Due to its heat storage ability, the boiler allows water
the locomotive only has a certain operating time.
The water releases its stored energy in the form of wet steam.
Starting from approx. 15 bar vapor pressure, this reduces over time to a minimum of 4 bar.
Then the steam storage locomotive must be filled with steam again.
The operating time for one filling can be 6-8 hours depending on the load.
In contrast to normal steam locomotives, the steam storage locomotive is quite economical to operate
and entertainment.
