The Heeresfeldbahnlokomotiven HF 200 D were narrow-gauge diesel locomotives of the German Heeresfeldbahn in the Second World War with the wheel arrangement D. The series was implemented very late and was therefore no longer included in the range of war engine locomotives . After the war, the locomotives were used for civilian purposes.
It is said that around 40 of this series of army field railroad locomotives were built, but today only the whereabouts of 2 are known.
construction
The chassis consists of an outer frame in which the four coupled wheel sets and the jackshaft are stored. The frame is supported by leaf springs on the wheelsets . The locomotive body consists of a driver's cab at one end and a narrow front end for the diesel engine , which is surrounded by metal sheets. Central buffer couplings are attached to the vehicles .
drive
In the front of the engine is a four-stroke diesel engine from Deutz, which drives the locomotive via a fluid transmission from Voith via a jackshaft located under the driver's cab. The four axles connected by coupling rods are driven by the jackshaft (which houses a reverser ). The motor is controlled continuously by filling regulation.
