The Deutz No. 1703 was a two-axle diesel locomotive with a rod drive , which was designed for light shunting service. It was built by Deutz in 1916 under the serial number 1703 .

The locomotive, which may not be a unique piece, is one of the oldest surviving internal combustion engine locomotives in Germany. It belongs to the Deutz C III R series . From 1984 the locomotive was in the now defunct Technology and Transport Museum in Stade , but it is still owned by the Friends of the Buxtehude-Harsefeld Railway.

development

The locomotive was delivered to the Imperial Garrison Machine Office in Wilhelmshaven on June 16, 1916 .

technology

The locomotive has a front end for the machine system and a driver's cab behind it.

The horizontally arranged two-cylinder engine had a cylinder diameter of 250 mm and a piston stroke of 330 mm. It developed 65 hp (48 kW) at 330 rpm and could be operated with either benzene, spirit, gasoline or petroleum . It was mounted in the front end and the mechanical gearbox drove a jackshaft. The axles were driven via coupling rods.

In 1954 this machine system was overhauled by the Fritz Schöttler machine factory in Diepholz . It received a new diesel engine from Mercedes-Benz with 90 hp (66 kW) at 1,000 rpm. The locomotive also received its indirect brake , and it was converted to one-man operation.

commitment

It is known about the use before 1945 that the locomotive was delivered to the Imperial Garrison in Wilhelmshaven in 1916 and used at the Wilhelmshaven Navy shipyard . Among other things, it was used on the Hohenkirchen – Schillig naval railway . In 1952 the locomotive came to the Ankum-Bersenbrücker Railway , where it was already number 223. In 1954 it came to the Butjadinger Bahn , where the machinery was renewed. Further stations were the Niederweserbahn from 1955 to 1964 and, after its closure, the Buxtehude-Harsefelder Eisenbahn , where it was used in Harsefeld and Apensen stations. In autumn she operated the beet loading facility in Harsefeld. It was also used for track construction work.

The locomotive could pull loads of up to 450 tons. In 1983 she had a broken crank pin, which meant her end of use. It was handed over to the Technology and Transport Museum in Stade. Although the museum no longer exists, the machine has been preserved.
