The vehicles of type VI of the Grand Ducal Baden State Railroad were freight locomotives .
The locomotives were the first triple- coupled locomotives ( wheel arrangement C) in Germany. In design work was based on the vehicles of the genus V . The locomotives were stationed in Mannheim . The services met expectations. On the route from Karlsruhe to Appenweier , a 472 t train could be pulled at 24 to 27.5 km / h. However, a leader locomotive was required on short intermediate climbs. After the conversion to standard gauge in 1854, the locomotives were used on the plain for a while.
What was striking about the design was that the wheelbase between the axles was unequal; the distance between the first two axes was considerably greater (2,085 mm) than that between the second and third axes (1,305 mm). The two-cylinder wet steam engine was arranged on the outside. The drive was carried out by means of forked drive rods on the central coupling axle. The frame consisted of two internal fork frames. The long kettle was a Sharp kettle that was copied by Kessler. The standing kettle was semicircular. On top of it rested a black painted cathedral. This is why this version was also known as the "Schwarzkopf". The chimney was made cylindrical. If the heating was done with wood, the locomotives received a jacket chimney with a turbine. The Stephenson control was internal. The front axle had overhead leaf springs. The two rear axles were suspended on a common leaf spring with a compensating lever.
When converted to standard gauge, the locomotives were given an outer frame in 1854. The standing boiler could just be accommodated. However, since there was not enough space, the front axle could no longer be driven and became a running axle. During the conversion, the plates on the JASON , ACHILLES , FRIDOLIN and MEDEA locomotives were swapped.
The vehicles had a Tender of type 3 T 5.4.
In the second half of the 1860s, the locomotives were replaced by the structurally similar class VII a .
