Mystery behind the fence. Why does a fireless locomotive have a chimney? Happy Fence Fireday!

I believe this is a Henschel fireless locomotive, seen at at Baddeckenstedt.
Why does it have a chimney??????

My dear Peter,

I have not any idea why does a fireless locomotive have a chimney...
But it looks nice with the red chimney.
A very beautiful capture!
HFF!

My dear Füsun,

Thank you so much for your quick visit and very kind awards!
I think somebody must like red paint here!
Maybe they thought "I need something else to paint red", so let us add a chimney!

I am happy that you have enjoyed the memory!

Love Peter

Hi Steve,

Thank you also for your quick visit and awards. Much appreciated as ever.
Maybe somebody thought "Steam engines must have chimneys. There is no chimney here. Therefore somebody has nicked it. Hence I must replace it!" Ja wol!!

Best Wishes & HFF

My pleasure, Peter.
Of course, deep thoughts and conundra are my speciality, alongside crinkly Norwegian fjords!
Easy terms for my friends!

Hi Tanja,

Thank you for your visit, and keen analogy. I am sure I understand the very deep meaning here!!! Fortunately the two domes remain!
(The front one is the steam dome, the rear one is the sandbox)

Best Wishes and HFF

I think the red chimney is really a flower pot, which will be planted up for the summer.
