The class V 180 of the Deutsche Reichsbahn (from 1970 class 118 , later DB class 228 ) was the largest diesel locomotive built in the GDR . The manufacturer was Lokomotivbau Karl Marx Babelsberg (LKM).

The V 180 was intended to accelerate the change of traction on the Deutsche Reichsbahn and therefore replace various steam locomotive series in use on main lines.

history

In 1953 the Deutsche Reichsbahn commissioned the Association of Nationally Owned Enterprises of Locomotive and Wagon Construction (LOWA) with the development of modern diesel vehicles.

After the first drafts were submitted in 1956, a concept was presented in 1957 that provided locomotives with engines of 1,800 HP and 2,000 HP for heavy passenger and freight train service on main lines.

Prototypes

In 1959, LKM completed the two advance locomotives V 180 001 and 002 with the B'B 'wheel arrangement. Since the GDR industry was not yet able to produce all the components for a large diesel locomotive that it had developed itself, the locomotives had a Voith gearbox and were delivered without a boiler. They had multiple controls from Brown, Boveri & Cie. These locomotives were not taken over by the DR and were scrapped at the Babelsberg plant in 1965 and 1966. Among other things, they were too heavy.

V 180.0

In 1961 the state planning commission approved the funds for the construction of 128 machines. Two more advance locomotives (V 180 003 and 004) were built in 1962. The electrical equipment for these came from LEW in Hennigsdorf. This was followed by a small series of five locomotives and the first series production up to the V 180 087 in the years 1963–1965. The locomotives received two 12-cylinder - short stroke - four-stroke - Diesel engines of the type 12 KVD 18/21 AI in V-arrangement with a displacement of approximately 74.8 liters and a rated power of 662 kW (900 hp) from VEB engine plant Johannistal .

V 180.1

From 1965, more powerful engines with 736 kW (1000 hp) were installed. To distinguish them, these locomotives were called V 180.1. From 1983 three of these locomotives even received engines with 900 kW and 1050 kW.

V 180.2

A version with the C'C 'wheel arrangement was developed for use on branch lines. In 1964 the V 180 201 was completed with two 662 kW (900 PS) engines. From 1966, after extensive testing, a total of 205 locomotives with two 736 kW (1000 hp) engines followed from V 180 203, the last of which were delivered under the new series designation 118. From the V 180 298 onwards, a fluid transmission from the GDR production by VEB Turbinenfabrik Dresden could be installed.

V 180.5

From 1979 to 1987 52 locomotives of the first series were equipped with new, 12 KVD 18/21 A-3 (736 kW / 1000 PS). In seven locomotives, the engine was even set to 900 kW (1200 hp). The converted locomotives were redesignated as the class 118.5 from 1981.

118.6

From 1981 to 1989, 179 locomotives of the 118.2–4 series were equipped with 883 kW (1200 hp) engines during scheduled investigations; they also received an order number increased by 400.

construction

The locomotive has a lightweight frame. It was initially built in a version with two two-axle bogies. Since the power from the gearboxes located under the driver's cabs could best be transmitted to the bogies at the point where the pivot pins would be, this variant had no pivot pins. Instead, the bogies were attached to the frame by means of a lever system (trapezoidal strap linkage). The primary suspension consisted of rubber compression springs with metal interlayers, the secondary suspension of leaf springs.

The locomotive had a Köthen type boiler in the middle , which was also used in the DR series V 100 . The water tanks and the cooling systems for the two diesel engines, which were located behind the driver's cabs, were arranged around this. The three-converter fluid transmission for 120 km / h from the Austrian subsidiary of Voith in St. Pölten are located under the high driver's cabs . The alternators and fan generators are flange-mounted here. The compressors driven by electric motors are also located under the driver's cabs. The control cabinets are arranged on the rear walls of the driver's cabs.

The six-axle version was equipped ex works with the further developed engines 12KVD18 / 21-A3 with 736 kW (1000 PS). When the engine was replaced later, all machines were given the even more powerful version 12KVD18 / 21-AL4 with 883 kW (1200 hp). The three-axle bogies have pivot pins. The six-axle machines only had two engine room windows compared to the four of the four-axle locomotives, the outer windows had been replaced by multiple-nozzle ventilation grilles.

As an experiment, highly charged engines of the type 12KVD18 / 21-AL5, each with 1100 kW (1500 PS) drive power, were installed in the 1980s. Since the engines that were in the test phase were unreliable and the 132 and 119 series had correspondingly powerful locomotives at their disposal, a series conversion was refrained from.

From 1968 - starting with the V 180 300 - fluid drives from VEB fluid machines Pirna were installed.

At DB AG, the locomotives were run as the 228 series.

V 240 001

Prototype V 240 001 with 883 kW engines

In 1965 the prototype of a six-axle locomotive with two engines with 883 kW (1200 hp) was presented at the Leipziper spring fair. The maximum speed of this locomotive was 140 km / h. The superstructures corresponded to the V 180, but the driver's cabs were made of fiberglass-reinforced polyester resin (GfP) and the paint was silver-gray. Trials took place until 1968, despite good tractive power, series production was not carried out. After a long period of storage, the locomotive, which had previously belonged to LKM, was acquired by the Deutsche Reichsbahn, and adapted to the standard version in the Neustrelitz depot using accident locomotives, and the top speed was also reduced to 120 km / h. It was then listed as 118 202.

use

218,312 shortly before in West Berlin nearby station Tegel on the temporary bridge over the construction of the federal highway 111 , 1986

Until the delivery of the large Soviet diesel locomotives of the 130 series , the V 180 were mainly used in express train traffic. This also included the use in transit traffic from West Berlin to the Federal Republic. This series was regularly used in plans for which it was not actually designed, e.g. B. in front of heavy express trains that were otherwise hauled by class 01 , 01.5 , 03 and 03.10 steam locomotives . The 118.2–4 (.6–8) series was universally applicable, as it could also be used on branch lines with a lighter superstructure with an axle load of 15.6 tons . This sub-series is also approved for steep sections . The use of this series in passenger traffic ended with the exclusive use of passenger coaches with electrical power supply by means of a train bus instead of the older coach types with steam heating ; similar to the 110/112 series . In addition, traffic ceased on most of the steep stretches, making vehicles unnecessary. In 1995 the last copies of the 228.2–4 were withdrawn from service at DB AG; some of the 228.6–8 were kept until June 10, 1998.

Three locomotives, the 118 548, 550 and 552, were assigned to the GDR government train. The locomotives were in operation in April 1990 between Berlin-Wannsee and Potsdam Hbf in cross-border S-Bahn advance traffic. The 118 552 is the last operational locomotive of the ITL and has been in service there again since 2015 as the 118 552 in the old red paint scheme. 118,548 and 550 were sold in 1992; the latter was scrapped in Neumark (Sachs) in 2003. On October 28, 2000, 118 548 had a serious accident in Haspelmoor, so that it could no longer be repaired and was later scrapped in Altenbeken as well.

A whole series of locomotives could be sold to private railways, some of which continued to serve for many years. However, the age of the operating time set limits, and the operating costs are higher than with single-engine locomotives and the stricter exhaust gas limits made retrofitting necessary.

As recently as 2005, some locomotives were used by the Mitteldeutsche Eisenbahn (MEG, an 80% subsidiary of DB Cargo Deutschland AG) on the routes around Saalfeld / Saale and Bad Lobenstein , as difficulties repeatedly occurred with other series. The last operational V 180 (MEG 206) at MEG was parked in April 2015 and handed over to the railway museum in Wittenberge. The other MEG locomotives are parked or are on loan to railway associations. Some other private railways still use this robust series.

The six-axle Leuna (now InfraLeuna) 204 and 205 were sold to the ITB railway company. Of these, the former InfraLeuna 205 is operational. Most of them come from the DR inventory. In 2015, nine of the 42 remaining machines were still operational, in 2018 there were only six.
