The steam locomotive series Kh was a narrow gauge - Tender Locomotive series of BBÖ which was procured for private local railways in Styria.
history
After the First World War, the Kühnsdorf - Eisenkappel ( Vellachtalbahn ) local railway in Carinthia only had one locomotive, the T .5, later BBÖ T.4 "(second occupation). The Austrian Federal Railways therefore ordered a more powerful machine from Krauss in Linz , which was also used for the planned dolly transport was needed, the ten-coupled. superheated steam -Lokomotive was delivered in 1924, since the five-couplers had to ride on the Vellachtalbahn radius of 60 meters, a special construction was chosen the chassis. the first four of their axes are in an internal frame, the fifth in an outer frame as Klien-Lindner axle running stored. the first dome axis is also performed laterally displaceable. the designation of the number touched by the initial letters of the place Kühndorf ago, the "h" stands for superheated steam.
In 1926 a similar machine was delivered for the Murtalbahn (Kh.101), in 1930 one for the Feistritztalbahn from Birkfeld to Ratten (Kh.111). After the private railway companies were dissolved, both machines were transferred to the Styrian State Railways as their successors.
Technically, all three machines are individual pieces that differ in the type of control: While the Kh.1 was equipped with the Lentz valve control that was common at the BBÖ for new acquisitions , the Kh.101 received a normal Heusinger control with piston valves. The Caprotti valve control, which is rare in Austria, was used for the Kh.111.
In 1938 the Deutsche Reichsbahn classified the BBÖ machine as 99 1201, in 1953 the ÖBB as 499.01 . It was always at home on its regular route and was retired in 1973. Today it is not operational in the vehicle collection of the Gurktalbahn .
The StLB Kh.101 will continue to be maintained as an active operating machine for the tourist trains on the Feistritztalbahn, the Kh.111 belongs to the Club 760 and is in the vehicle hall of the club in Frojach on the Murtalbahn not operational.
