The steam locomotives of class IX , from 1868 class II a old of the Grand Ducal Baden State Railroad, were Crampton locomotives .

history

"Kuessaburg"

The locomotives were originally designed for the 1,600 mm wide gauge , but were made for this gauge because the route network had been switched to standard gauge . The vehicles were as pure freight train - machines planned by the change to standard gauge, the draft was changed to an express locomotive.

Due to the almost ten-year construction period, design changes and experiments were made in order to achieve the best possible result.

The first two ADLER and FALKE locomotives were given a returning flame tube (chimney in the middle of the boiler) but were converted to a normal smoke chamber before they were finally taken over by the State Railways . In the second delivery series COMET to BASEL , a bogie was used instead of two running axles. The BASEL was at the 1885 World's Fair presented in Paris. With a train of 67 t, the locomotive reached a speed of 64 km / h.

When the friction mass of around 12 t was no longer sufficient for the increasingly heavy express trains, the locomotives were transferred to passenger train service and later to shunting service.

The locomotives were equipped with external frames, external cylinders and Hall eccentric cranks. They possessed all the characteristics of a Crampton locomotive as the single, behind the firebox lying driving axle with wheels of large diameter or deep boiler location. Initially, the driver's cab was open and only surrounded by a railing, only later was the locomotive personnel better protected by the construction of a simple driver's cab with narrow side walls.

Preserved copy of the series

The PHOENIX series locomotive, built in 1863, was used as a shunting locomotive at Mannheim station until the 1890s . The locomotive was badly damaged during the Second World War. In 1960 it was refurbished in the Munich-Freimann repair shop and is now on display in the Nuremberg Transport Museum.
