The following still needs to be improved:  Lemma is fundamentally wrong, as the article covers all 17 locomotives of the various companies and not just those mentioned in the lemma. Type, year of construction and other little things are different at albert-gieseler.de and here in the article. These data were only changed by the editor after a different source during the last revision a few days ago. It is questionable whether, for example, the change in the coal supply from 1.5 tonnes to 2.5 tonnes on this small locomotive can be correct, the type designation, the overall length, drive wheel diameter, the mass information and other things were also based on the source Merzhäuser, Die Kleinbahn Selters-Hachenburg changed. It could also be that all the data previously listed in the article were correct for all other locomotives there since 2007 and that the only three machines of the Kleinbahn Selters-Hachenburg deviated on these points. It remains to be seen whether the source is safe for everyone else. - Mef.ellingen ( discussion ) 15:52, Jul 14, 2020 (CEST)

The SELKE to HASSELFELDE were the first six locomotives manufactured by Henschel in a series of narrow-gauge locomotives comprising at least 17 locomotives. In addition to the six built between 1887 and 1890 for the Gernrode-Harzgeroder Eisenbahn-Gesellschaft (GHE), eight locomotives were delivered to the Nassau Kleinbahn in 1899 and three vehicles to the Selters – Hachenburg Kleinbahn in 1900 . The locomotives ran until the late 1950s / early 1960s. A locomotive from the Selters – Hachenburg small railway has been preserved.

history

Gernrode-Harzgeroder Railway Company

In 1887, the GHE acquired three three-axle locomotives to start operations. In 1888 one and in 1890 two more locomotives of the same type were purchased. They were named after the river that accompanied a large part of the route and the places along the route: SELKE, GERNRODE, HARZGERODE, GÜNTERSBERGE, ALEXISBAD, HASSELFELDE .

They were in service until the end of the Second World War. Then five locomotives, as well as a large part of the track's permanent way, were delivered to the USSR as reparations . There their traces are lost. Only the GERNRODE remained for the rest of the operation and was taken over by the Deutsche Reichsbahn. There it was given the number 99 5811. In 1956 it received a new boiler and was in use on its main line until 1963. The locomotive was decommissioned on May 29, 1967, and a short time later it was scrapped.

Nassau small train

The Nassauische Kleinbahn bought eight identical locomotives from Henschel for 33,000 Reichsmarks in 1899. The vehicles were given the numbers 1 to 8. The small locomotives were soon overwhelmed on the mountainous routes, so more powerful steam locomotives were procured in the following years. The first locomotive was probably taken out of service before 1927, the others followed until 1959. In 1957, locomotive No. 2 of the Selters – Hachenburg small railway was acquired as a reserve. This remained in operation until the final shutdown as No. 16 II and was then sold to a scrap dealer. In the meantime, after being refurbished, it was in use on the Selfkant web . The locomotive came to Nastätten via a few intermediate stations and was made a monument there in 1981, where it remained until 2015. In July 2017 the locomotive was sold to the Dutch company Kleinbaan Service .

The three locomotives were delivered in 1900 and were the regular locomotives on the line. Initially, they were used for mixed services, freight trains with passenger transport and pure passenger and freight trains. The volume of operations was always low, so that a locomotive could usually be kept cold as a reserve. When the T1 multiple unit was delivered in 1936 , it took over the passenger trains and the Henschel locomotives were only used for freight trains.

Several accidents required major repairs. In 1945, an axle on locomotive 3 broke , derailing it and tearing open the embankment. There were also derailments after broken rails. The biggest accident happened in 1956 when locomotive 1 collided with the railcar. The railcar was so badly damaged that it had to be scrapped. The steam locomotive was rebuilt and ran until 1960. It still helped dismantle the line and was then scrapped.

As the first locomotive in the series, the 3 was retired and scrapped in 1950 . Locomotive 2 was sold to Nassauische Kleinbahn in 1957, where it operated as 16 II . The V 12 acquired from the Rendsburger Kreisbahn took over its duties .

technical features

The locomotives have a narrow chimney with a spark arrester in the smoke chamber . The three-axle wet steam tank locomotives with the C wheel arrangement have two cylinders that are located in front of the first axle and act on the rear coupling axle . The external Allan control has flat slides . The valve boxes are inclined forward. The cross head is mounted between two sliding plates. There are two suction injectors for the feed water supply . The water supply is housed in a frame water tank under the boiler ; the coal boxes are to the left and right of the copper fire box in front of the driver's cab with shovel holes facing the driver's cab. There is a filler neck for the water tank in front of it.

The springs of the wheel sets are arranged above the axle bearings and are connected to compensating levers. The frame is a simple sheet metal construction that is riveted and screwed together.

The boiler is a steel construction that was created using a rivet construction. A safety valve of the Ramsbotton type is arranged in front of the driver's cab, on which a steam flare is housed. The sandpit sits on the kettle in front of the dining dome. A pulsometer could be used to take water from a stream or well on the way. In terms of braking technology, the locomotive was originally equipped with a throw lever brake , a vapor brake and a lever brake. With the introduction of the rolling carriage operation after the Second World War , the locomotives of the Selters-Hachenburg small railway were converted to Körting type suction air brakes . The braking system at the Nassauische Kleinbahn is not known.
