The . No. 1-4 are gear - steam locomotives of Achenseebahn in Tirol . Identical locomotives were also of the Košice-Bohumín Railway for Csorbatoi Fogaskerekü Vasut ( Csorbasee cog railway ) in the High Tatras in the former Upper Hungary procured.
history
The locomotives for the Achenseebahn were built in 1888/89 by the Floridsdorf locomotive factory in Vienna according to construction plans from the Esslingen machine factory. There they were given the numbers 1 to 4 and the first names of the main shareholders at that time THEODOR , HERMANN , GEORG and CARL . Similar locomotives were already delivered by the Esslingen machine factory to the Zsakaroczvölgyi Iparvasut in Upper Hungary in 1884 .
The number 4 was taken out of service after the Second World War in order to serve as a spare parts dispenser from then on. The other locomotives are still in operation on their main line to this day. Since 1981 the three locomotives have been named after the neighboring communities of EBEN a. A. , ACHENKIRCH and JENBACH , who are the owners of the Achenseebahn. From 2001, a new number 4 was built from the still existing old frame from No. 2, the drive from No. 3 and a new boiler manufactured by Interlok in Poland . Locomotive 1 was badly damaged on May 16, 2008 in a fire in the boiler house in Jenbach. Locomotive 4 was completed a few weeks later and put into service as a replacement; today it bears the names EBEN am Achensee and HANNAH . Locomotive 1 was able to be rebuilt by the end of 2009, so the Achenseebahn now has four locomotives at its disposal.

For locomotives 1 - 3, practically all components including the vehicle frame have been replaced since production. With a strict interpretation of the identity criteria of steam locomotives (identity of the locomotive tied to the frame), these are no longer the locomotives manufactured in the 19th century. The new locomotive number 4 could well be considered the original locomotive, as it was built on an original frame.
For the cogwheel railway from Csorba ( Tschirm , today: Štrba ) to Csorbató ( Tschirmer See , today: Štrbské Pleso ) in the High Tatras, two largely identical locomotives were built in 1896. The locomotives were given the operating numbers 1 and 2. After the nationalization of the Kaschau-Oderberger Bahn in 1924, they came into the inventory of the ČSD, which designated them with the new numbers U 29.001 and U 29.002. After the railway was shut down in 1932, the locomotives were retired and later scrapped.
technical features
As is often the case with gear steam locomotives, the two-cylinder wet steam engine works on a back gear with a reduction of 1: 1.95. The centrally arranged gear axle also serves to transmit power to the two normal drive axles for adhesion operation by means of coupling rods.
Three independent brake systems guarantee safe operation on the gear train. The usual at Rack steam locomotives Niklaus Riggenbach - counter-pressure brake acts as inertia brake when going downhill. There is a grooved belt brake on the transmission, which serves as an additional service brake to stop and secure the train. A grooved block brake acts on the brake gear. All three systems are individually capable of holding an entire train on the steep stretch.
There were the following differences between the Achenseebahn locomotives and the CFV locomotives:
- Boiler slope: 80 ‰ (Achenseebahn), 60 ‰ (CFV)
- Safety valve: Ramsbottom, converted to spring balance valve in 1897, spring behind the steam dome (Achenseebahn), spring balance valve, spring next to the steam dome (CFV)
- Lantern supports on the rear wall of the driver's cab: above the buffer (Achenseebahn), at about waist height of the locomotive driver (CFV)
- Injector : type Körting (Achenseebahn), type Friedmann (CFV)
- Diameter of the steam dome: 700 mm (Achenseebahn), 620 mm (CFV)
