The MÁV series 327 was an express train - steam locomotive series of the Hungarian State Railways (MÁV) for express train service on routes with a permissible axle pressure of 14 t.

history

Around 1911, the MÁV class 301 express locomotive was procured for express train traffic on the lines of the Hungarian State Railways MÁV . Only the double-coupled machines of the 220 series were available for express train traffic on the less load-bearing routes, which were no longer able to cope with the increasing train loads.

The elegant Hungarian express train locomotives of the MÁV series 327 with the conical smoke chamber door, the streamlined driver's cab and the short drive rod were built in a total of 140 copies at MÁVAG , Budapest . Initially, two locomotives were built as twin engines, two locomotives as two-cylinder compound engines for comparison purposes. Since the latter had less favorable properties in comparison to the twin machines, the series was procured as twin machines.

The locomotives were able to transport 210 t at 100 km / h and 480 t at 70 km / h on the level route. During the time of the First World War , the locomotives met the increased demands of the company. Their main disadvantage, however, was the short drive rod, which caused frame cracks behind the cylinder block. These had to be repaired with reinforcements.

By using the MÁV series 328 and especially the MÁV series 424 , which avoided the disadvantages of the short connecting rod, the machines were then displaced into subordinate services. In some cases, they were even used in freight train services on flat lines. They were retired around 1965. According to various sources, a locomotive (327,141) is said to have survived as a heating locomotive.

The 327 series in Czechoslovakia

22 locomotives of the MÁV series 327 remained in the newly founded Czechoslovakia after 1918 due to the assignment of territory . The ČSD gave the locomotives from 1924 the new series designation  374.0 and classified them as 374.001-022. In the ČSD network, the locomotives could only be seen on Slovak territory. Some locomotives were returned to the MÁV , some were retired. The dates of the retirement are not known.

The 327 series in Yugoslavia

After 1918, 32 locomotives remained with Železnice Kraljevine Srba, Hrvata i Slovenaca (SHS), the state railway in the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes . There they kept their series and their serial numbers.
The Yugoslav State Railroad Jugoslovenske državne železnice (JDŽ), founded in 1929, redrawn these in 1933 as 02-001 to 02-032. In 1941, 24 locomotives remained with the Croatian State Railroad Hrvatske državne železnice (HDŽ), which did not redraw the locomotives. The remaining locomotives came either via the Deutsche Reichsbahn (DR) or directly back to the MÁV. The locomotives of the HDŽ came back to
Hungary , partly via Germany and Austria . The JDŽ, which was re-established after the Second World War in 1945, did not take over a single locomotive of the former MÁV series 327 (JDŽ series 02) from the HDŽ.
