Fr Cette locomotive diesel MOES 15 CV se trouve sur le site de Blegny-Mine. Elle est exposée parmi d'autres locomotives et autres engins utilisés dans les mines des environs.

Dans les années 1930, la société change de raison sociale et devient SA Moteurs Moës, Waremme. Grâce au climat industriel favorable et à la période de développement qui a duré jusqu'en 1940, l'activité est très bonne. L'usine fabrique des moteurs à combustion interne de toutes capacités, des locomotives diesel à voie étroite pour la construction et l'industrie, des locomotives diesel souterraines pour l'exploitation minière et des locomotives industrielles de petite taille à voie normale.
Les "locotracteurs" diminutifs à voie étroite du type BL, construits vers 1935, sont courants dans l'industrie belge de la brique. Ils sont équipés du très simple B un cylindre, moteur diesel 2 temps. Un certain nombre d'entre eux ont survécu, principalement en Belgique, mais quelques-uns sont conservés en France et en Hollande.

En This MOES 15 HP diesel locomotive is located at the Blegny-Mine site. It is exposed among other locomotives and other equipment used in nearby mines.
In the 1930’s the companyname changes in SA Moteurs Moës, Waremme. Thanks to the favourable industrial climate and development period, which lasted until 1940, business is very good. The factory makes internal combustion engines of all capacities, narrow gauge diesellocomotives for contracting and industry, underground diesellocomotives for mining and small standard gauge industrial locomotives.

Diminutive narrow gauge” locotracteurs” of the BL type, built from around 1935, are common in the Belgian brick industry. They are equipped with the very simple B one cyinder, 2 stroke dieselengine. A number of them survived, mainly in Belgium but a few are preserved in France and Holland

In 1936, Moës developes the 4 stroke D type dieselengine with an anti flame device and exhaustfumes cleaning waterlock exhaustsystem specially developed for use in locomotives for underground duty's in the gassy Belgian coalmines.
