Roland DXY-1350 pen plotter drawing ELNA 5 locomotive 152 (MBS)

The German ELNA type locomotives were designed and built to be used by smaller railways. Some 150 engines in six different types were built between 1922 and 1946. Type 5 engine number 152 with wheel arrancement 2-6-0 or 1’C was built in 1927 by Henschel & Sohn from Kassel in Gemany for the Teutoburger Wald-Eisenbahn (TWE). After TWE she continued to serve several other railways until she was finally put out of service in 1972. In that year she was handed over to the Museum Buurtspoorweg (MBS) in Haaksbergen, The Netherlands, where she has ever since served many museum line trips.
The Roland DXY-1350 pen plotter is a popular computer printing device from the 1980's for printing vector graphics. It prints by moving a pen across the surface of a piece of paper, much like a human hand does. This means it is restricted to line art. To be able to draw all sorts of shapes the pen needs to be able to move across the paper on an X and Y axis. The Roland line of pen plotters have a specific design where the paper is fixed and the pen moves along both the X and Y axis in all directions. This is different from the HP line of plotters where the pen only moves along one axis and the paper along the other. The drawing pen is mounted on a carriage that moves back and forth. These smaller "home-use" plotters were popular for desktop business graphics and in engineering laboratories for technical drawings. Starting from the mid-1990's pen plotters were gradually replaced by high-resolution inkjet and laser printers. Surviving pen plotters have often been converted to venyl sign cutters.
