Bonner Strassenbahn ROSWINDIS was a steam locomotive built by Hohenzollern in 1898.[1] It was originally built for the Bonner Strassenbahn.[1] It was bought for the construction of the MBS Nijmegen-Venlo line by C.P. Stuy (Nijmegen, Netherlands) in 1914.[1]
In 1915 the locomotive was thoroughly repaired in the VMH workshops (Helden, Netherlands) and rented to the ZVTM, who gave it #3.[1] The locomotive was sold to the VMH in 1917. It was renumbered #5 by the VMH.[1] Before entering into service in 1919, it was once again thoroughly repaired. When the VMH was absorbed into the LTM in 1923, the locomotive was renumbered #17.[1]
The cabin of the locomotive was later extended by the LTM to increase the very small room between the boiler and the front and rear walls of the cabin.[1] The new front and rear of the locomotive were extended outside of the frame. At the same time, additional water storage was added between frame and axles.[1]
The name Venlo was added to the locomotive by the LTM at some point in time. This name plate was taken from VMH locomotive #1.[1] The MBS purchased all former VMH lines and equipment of the LTM in 1929. This locomotive retained #17 at that time. It was taken out of service in 1935, and sold for scrap in 1937.[1]
