The E 16 101 is one of five single-axle electric locomotives that were ordered in 1924 by what was then the Deutsche Reichsbahn (DR). They were delivered in 1927/28. In contrast to these locomotives, the type plan for electrical standard locomotives used to be more traditional locomotives with rod drives . Since other railways have already had good experience with modern locomotives with single-axle drives , the DR wanted to keep up with this development with these locomotives intended for express train service. While these locomotives under the designations E 18 01 (wheel arrangement (1'Bo) (Bo1 '), later E 15 01), E 16 101 (1'Do1'), E 21 01, E 21 02 (2'Do1 ') and E 21 51 (2'Do1 ') remained loners, resulting in the series E 17 and E 04 in larger numbers.
All locomotives had four individually driven axles in different chassis designs and a top speed of 110 km / h.
technology
The second test locomotive from Borsig and SSW was to be built as a single-frame locomotive with a 1'Do1 'wheel arrangement. There were no differences in the required catalog of services. The machine was put into service in 1928 as the E 16 101 . The series designation E 16.5 was used to distinguish it from the E 16.1 .
The four drive axles were rigid, but mounted laterally in the main frame. At 6,100 millimeters, the fixed wheelbase was relatively large. The running axles were designed as Bissel axles. The locomotive body corresponded to that of the E 15 01. Together with the permanently attached front end, it rested on the main frame. The smooth running of the vehicle was significantly better than that of the bogie locomotive due to the rigid construction in the straight. Due to the large fixed wheelbase and the insufficient guidance by the running axles, however, it ran restlessly when traveling fast in the curved track.
commitment
This locomotive was also initially used by the Leipzig West depot from 1929, but with significantly worse experience than the E 18 01. In particular, the running problems could not be resolved decisively even by a repair by Borsig. Another parallel is the move to Breslau, where, as expected, the disadvantages became even more apparent. Nevertheless, the Reichsbahn increased the maximum speed to 120 km / h in 1934 in order to be able to pull fast passenger trains. Due to the late completion, it could no longer influence the actual order order, but the experience was used for the E 05 . It also returned to Leipzig in 1934, where it remained until the end of the war, at last no longer operational. The locomotive arrived in the Soviet Union with the reparations in 1946 , returned to the DR in 1952/53 and was in the Schadpark until 1957. It was then prepared until 1958, so that it can be exhibited as a demonstration object on the grounds of the University of Transport in Dresden from September . At this time it was also deleted from the DR portfolio. In the fall of 1972, however, it was dismantled on the spot after the “Electric Railways” chair had been closed.
