The Heeresfeldbahn locomotives HF 130 C were narrow-gauge diesel locomotives of the German Army Field Railway during World War II . After the end of the war, they were used in civil rail operations in several countries.

history

Used in Vitebsk , Belarus

During the Second World War, around 350 military field railway locomotives of the type HF 130 C were built. The first plans were carried out by Schwartzkopff in 1937 . Several locomotive manufacturers - including Orenstein & Koppel , Jung , Deutz , Gmeinder , BMAG and Windhoff  - were involved in the construction of these vehicles . The locomotives with a track width of 600/750 mm ( umspurbar ) were classified with the introduction of the war series as the war effort and in this series as a war engine locomotive  designated 3 (short KML 3).

technical features

The three coupled wheel sets and the jackshaft are mounted in an outer frame. The frame is supported by leaf springs on the wheelsets. The locomotive body consists of a driver's cab at one end and a narrow front end for the diesel engine , which is surrounded by metal sheets. Central buffer couplings are attached to the vehicles .

drive

In the front of the engine there is a four-stroke diesel engine that drives the locomotive via a fluid flow gearbox from Voith or a Trilok gearbox from Klein, Schanzlin and Becker (KSB) Frankenthal, a reversing gearbox and a jackshaft located under the driver's cab. The three axles connected by coupling rods are driven by the jackshaft. The control is stepless by filling regulation. All locomotives originally had a manual spindle brake .

Further development of the HK 130 C

The type H K  130 C was developed from the HF 130 C for the Cape Gauge Railways (1067 mm) to be conquered in Africa . It is not clear whether the K to K apspur or K refers olonialbahn. When the locomotives were built, the planned use in Africa had become obsolete due to the course of the war. The locomotives were re-gauged to 600, 750 or 900 mm and used in the same way as the HF 130 C. Examples that still exist today are the Windhoff locomotives 765/1943 on the Mühlenstroth steam train and 767/1943 on the Bregenzerwaldbahn in Austria and the Gmeinder machine 4313/1947 in the Frankfurter Feldbahnmuseum eV The first and last-named locomotives now run on one Track width of 600 mm, the latter to 760 mm.

commitment

German Federal Railroad

Gmeinder delivered a total of three locomotives for the Wangerooger Inselbahn in 1952 and 1957, which were based on the old plans of the HK 130 C. The machines designated by the manufacturer as the HK 130 C (DB) were designated by the Deutsche Bundesbahn as the 329 series (previously V11, V99 and Köf 99, later also 399).

German Reichsbahn

100 901 as a work locomotive at Binz Ost station, 1978

In the early 1950s, the Deutsche Reichsbahn took over two type HF 130C locomotives from former Wehrmacht stocks in the GDR . The two locomotives were given the numbers Köf 6001 and 6003. The Köf 6001 originally came from the Reinsdorf airfield and was used from 1950 on the former Jüterbog-Luckenwalder Kreiskleinbahnen in Dahme . The Köf 6003 came to the former Rathenow-Senzke-Nauen district railway . It was mainly used during the beet campaign in freight transport , but also in passenger transport . After the cessation of operations on these railway lines , both locomotives came to the island of Rügen on the Rügen narrow-gauge railways to be used as shunting locomotives.

The Köf 6001 got the EDP number 100 901 in 1970 and was used again from 1976. In 1985 the locomotive was retired and scrapped. Köf 6003 has been preserved on Rügen to this day. It received the EDP number 100 902 in 1970, but was switched off from 1971. In 1973 it was redrawn as 199 002. From 1976 the locomotive was also used again in Putbus . In 1992 it was given the new number 399 703 according to the common numbering plan of the German railways . The locomotive has been part of the Rügen Kleinbahn GmbH & Co. (RüKB) portfolio since 1996.

Austria

Converted HF 130 C as ÖBB 2092, since 2008 in the inventory of SLB Pinzgauer Lokalbahn as Vs 51

After 1945 a total of eleven repairable locomotives remained in Austria , which were backed up on both the Pinzgauer Lokalbahn and the Steyrtalbahn . The US occupation forces handed over the four locomotives that had been found on the Steyrtalbahn to the ÖBB ; the rest remained with private railways like the Steiermärkische Landesbahnen and factory railways in industrial companies. All four ÖBB locomotives, which were divided into two subgroups (due to differences in engine and gearbox design), were refurbished between 1950 and 1951 and re-gauge to 760 mm. The two Gmeinder locomotives with a Deutz engine and Voith gearbox were named 2092.01 and 02, the two Windhoff locomotives with a Kämper engine and Trilok gearbox were named 2092.101 and 102. Air brakes were retrofitted in both locomotives. 2092.01 and 02 received a vacuum brake for the wagon train. In 1960 and 1962 the Windhoff machines were adapted to the two Gmeindner locomotives and redrawn as 2092.03 and 04. In 1963 and 1965 the machines were given a wider cab. 2092.01, 03 and 04 were retired due to engine damage, as the age and lack of demand no longer economically justify a repair.

The locomotives on the narrow-gauge railways were mainly used as shunting locomotives in the connecting stations to the standard- gauge network because of their low design-related speed . These were the stations of Bregenz-Vorkloster ( Bregenzerwaldbahn ), Gmünd ( Waldviertler Schmalspurbahnen ), Völkermarkt-Kühnsdorf ( Vellachtalbahn ), St. Pölten Alpenbahnhof ( Mariazellerbahn ) and Zell am See ( Pinzgauer Lokalbahn ).

All of the 2092 class locomotives have been preserved. The 2092.03 is currently in Ober-Grafendorf on the Mariazellerbahn , where it is being refurbished by the owner, Club Mh.6 . The 2092.04 is now owned by the Waldviertel narrow-gauge railway association in Heidenreichstein, where it is being completely refurbished.

2092.01 stood as a memorial in Puchenstuben on the Mariazellerbahn until 2006 , from where it was acquired by a German collector on ebay together with a four-axle passenger car. After a time in the Oldtimer Museum Rügen , the locomotive was transported back to Bezau ( Bregenzerwaldbahn ) in 2017 , where it is waiting for an operational refurbishment.

The last representative of this series was stationed at the ÖBB 2092.02 in Zell am See . This was taken over by Salzburg AG with the inventory of the Pinzgauer local railway and designated as Vs 51. After four years of stoppage time, the locomotive is being refurbished for moving the trolleys in Zell am See. In addition to a general inspection and a new coat of paint in accordance with the SLB standard, the locomotive will also have a vacuum braking system, which will enable it to be used in construction trains in the future.

Czechoslovakia

The locomotive of the railway museum in Frýdlant v Čechách, marked as T 36.002, originally comes from the
Rhine regulatory railway

One of the locomotives also came to the Czechoslovak State Railways (ČSD) in Czechoslovakia after 1945 . This classified the locomotive as T 36.001 and used it from 1948 as a shunting locomotive in Frýdlant v Čechách ( narrow-gauge railway Frýdlant – Heřmanice , formerly Friedland district railway ). In 1954 the locomotive was handed over to the Královodvorské cementárny cement factory in Beroun .
