The two steam locomotives of the class 04 were medium-pressure test locomotives of the Deutsche Reichsbahn , which were derived from the standard steam locomotives of the class 03 .

history

In 1932, the Deutsche Reichsbahn attempted to increase the boiler pressure from 16 atü (15.7 bar) to 25 atü (24.5 bar) by using high-strength steels . The machines built by the Krupp company were first examined at the LVA Grunewald . With a specific steam consumption value of 5.2 kg / PSh in relation to the indicated power, the locomotives clearly fell short of the already quite low steam consumption value of the 03 series by over 1 kg / PSh. The coal consumption based on the effective power on the towing hook was 0.96 kg / PSh compared to 1.13 kg / PSh on the 03. The medium-pressure boilers did not prove to be stable, and damage to the fire box occurred after a short time . Since the locomotives did not meet expectations even after modifications and repairs, the permissible boiler overpressure was finally lowered to 20 atmospheres in 1935 and they were added to the fleet with the company numbers 02 101 and 02 102. They were then supposed to be used in regular train service from the Hamburg-Altona depot, but since they had no experience with four-cylinder compound locomotives there, they were handed over to the Hof depot in 1936 . Due to a lack of water, the boiler of the 02 101 exploded on April 3, 1939; then both machines were scrapped; In 1940 they were finally scrapped.

The standard locomotives were coupled with standard tenders of type 2'2 'T32.
