The steam locomotives of the class S 3 were wet steam locomotives developed by Hanomag for the Prussian State Railways and were manufactured from 1893.

Construction and performance

Pr S3 construction drawing

The S 3 was a wet steam composite locomotive with a high-pressure and a low-pressure cylinder of the type 2'B n2v. It was a further development of the S 2 , from which the boiler was also taken over. Since larger turntables of 16 m were available at the time of construction , the wheelbase could be extended compared to the S 2, which led to better running properties.

The locomotives were equipped with tenders of the types pr 3 T 15, pr 2'2 'T 16, pr 2'2' T 20 and pr 2'2 'T 21.5.

The machines of type S 3 could transport an express train made up of ten cars (corresponding to a train weight of 320 t) on the plain at 75 km / h. On an incline of ten per thousand, 150 t were managed at 50 km / h.

Reinforced S3

Prussian S 5, built in 1908

From 1900 different versions of a four-cylinder compound locomotive were built as class S 5 of the type 2'B n4v, which should allow greater performance than the previously built S3 and S4. However, these did not meet expectations. In order to meet the demand, Stettiner Maschinenbau AG Vulcan built the tried and tested S 3 in a reinforced design, using a larger boiler and larger steam cylinders. These locomotives were initially designated as the reinforced S 3, and from 1911 as the S 5.2. Eight locomotives were accidentally run as S 3 even after 1911. Between 1905 and 1911, Vulcan and Schichau delivered a total of 367 machines of this type to the Prussian State Railways.

distribution

The Prussian State Railways procured a total of 1,027 locomotives of this type by 1904, which were located at almost all depots. It was therefore the most built German express locomotive.

Another 40 copies went to the Reichseisenbahnen in Alsace-Lorraine (see Elsaß-Lothringische S 3 ) and six pieces with a modified axle base went to the Oldenburg State Railways (see Oldenburgische S 3 ).

After the First World War , over 100 machines remained with the Polish and Lithuanian State Railways, where some of them were in use until the 1940s. During the Second World War, they were partially classified as 13 010, 301, 302, 305–337, 339 and 340 in the inventory of the Reichsbahn. Some of these locomotives were in the DR fleet until 1955 and were only then returned to Poland. The 13 021 remaining in the west was still part of the DB in 1950, but was scrapped in the z-set .

According to the drafting plan for steam locomotives from 1923, 451 S 3s of the Prussian State Railroad were taken over by the Deutsche Reichsbahn as 13 008-458 . In 1925 only 27 of them remained as the 13.0 series with the road numbers 13 002-028. The 13 001 was not an S 3, but a Prussian S 2 type Erfurt converted to a composite effect . The machines were taken out of service by 1927.

The locomotives taken over by the Oldenburg State Railroad were given the road numbers 13 1801–1806 in 1925, but were retired a year later.
