Of these, only two units—91 1207 and 91 1347—were incorporated into the ÖBB 691 series, retaining their original Reichsbahn road numbers. These locomotives underwent several technical modifications, the most notable being the addition of a leading disc wheel set.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBoth of these T 9.3 locomotives operated primarily in the St. Pölten area before being retired from service in 1957. Their continued use highlights the durability and adaptability of this classic steam locomotive design in post-war Austrian rail operations.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePost-War Austrian Service:\u003c\/strong\u003e Six locomotives remained in Austria, with two joining the ÖBB 691 series.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOriginal Road Numbers Retained:\u003c\/strong\u003e Units 91 1207 and 91 1347 kept their Reichsbahn designations.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTechnical Upgrades:\u003c\/strong\u003e Featured modifications including a leading disc wheel set for improved performance.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRegional Operation:\u003c\/strong\u003e Served mainly in the St. Pölten area until retirement.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRetirement Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e Both locomotives were withdrawn from service in 1957.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis detailed model accurately reflects the historical and technical significance of the T 9.3 locomotives in Austria, making it an excellent choice for collectors interested in post-war European steam engines.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Piko","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52985794101585,"sku":"PK50741","price":333.75,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0865\/4992\/2129\/files\/pk50741_1_v2.jpg?v=1770911735","url":"https:\/\/www.jadlamracingmodels.com\/products\/piko-expert-obb-rh691-steam-locomotive-iii-dcc-sound-pk50741-ho-gauge","provider":"Jadlam Toys \u0026 Models","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
