The HF 210 E is a wet steam - heeresfeldbahnlokomotive the wheel arrangement "E". The manufacturer of this locomotive type was the Borsig company .

Only one locomotive of this type was built by Borsig in 1939 ; This vehicle was owned by the Seidensticker Collection until 2009 and has been called the AQUARIUS C since the 1980s . This steam locomotive has been owned by the Club 760 since December 2016 and is used on the Taurach Railway .

In 1944, five more Henschel locomotives were built.

history

ZB 4 in EUROVAPOR use on the Bregenzerwaldbahn (1974)
"Aquarius C" in Freital-Hainsberg on the Weißeritztalbahn (2012)

The Wehrmacht was the end of the 1930s, several prototypes of light railway locomotives for military use in order. One of them was a five-axle "Heavy Heeresfeldbahn steam locomotive" with a gauge of 750 mm , which was commissioned from Borsig . ( Krauss-Maffei , Orenstein & Koppel and Jung also developed five-axle locomotives.) On August 10, 1939, the machine was delivered from the factory under the factory number 14806, after which it was approved by the Waffenprüfamt 5 (WaPrüf 5) as HF no. 191 put into operation. It was originally designed as a tank locomotive and was retrofitted with a tender .

From October 1942 to March 1943 she stood on railway construction battalion 512 on the 600 mm narrow gauge - heeresfeldbahn Tuleblja-Demyansk ( Soviet Union ) in use. The possibility of re-gauging was already provided for during construction. In January / February 1945 it was brought from Rehagen-Klausdorf with a transport of field railway material to Mittersill on the Pinzgauer local railway in Salzburg . After the end of the Second World War it became an allied booty there.

From 1945 to October 1957 it was used as a passenger locomotive on the Salzkammergut Local Railway (SKGLB) with road number 22 in passenger traffic. For this purpose, it was re-tracked to the slightly larger track width of 760 mm. After the SKGLB was discontinued, it was sold to the Zillertalbahn , where it was mainly used as a freight train locomotive with the road number ZB 4 from 1958 to 1972 . On October 27, 1968, it was named CASTLE CAEREINION by friends of the Welsh Zillertal Railway .

From April 8, 1974, she drove for EUROVAPOR for five years on the ÖBB narrow-gauge line of the Bregenzerwaldbahn until it was shut down in May 1980.

On December 22nd, 1980 it was sold by the Zillertalbahn to the German industrialist Walter Seidensticker . It came back to the Zillertal in March 1981 , where it was still available for special trains in the following two years . From 1984 to 1986 it was overhauled in the main workshop of the Teutoburg Forest Railway in Lengerich. In April 1986 it came to the Jagsttalbahn Dörzbach – Möckmühl and was in operation there until the end of 1988 when the boiler was damaged . From 1991 to 1996 it was exhibited without a tender in the German Museum of Technology in Berlin . After a general inspection in 1996/1997 at the Görlitz-Schlauroth plant of Deutsche Bahn AG , the Rügen Kleinbahn went into operation in May 1997 . The boiler deadline expired in June 2005. The locomotive was parked in Putbus for repairs until the end of 2007 . On December 12, 2007, it was put back into operation with a load test drive.

From May 2009 the locomotive belonged to the railway construction and operating company Pressnitztalbahn mbH in Jöhstadt, which it continued to use mainly on the island of Rügen, but also on the Preßnitztalbahn in special train service. After the boiler deadline (according to German law) in 2016, the locomotive was parked in the locomotive shed in Carlsfeld and put up for sale. In autumn 2016, Club 760 , which already owns several original SKGLB locomotives, announced that it would acquire the locomotive with the support of the state of Salzburg and use it on the Taurach Railway. In June 2017 it was brought to the Pinzgauer local railway in Zell am See , where it was refurbished and adapted for the 760 mm gauge. After the first public journeys on the Pinzgauer Lokalbahn, she came on July 17, 2018 by low-loader tram from the Preßnitztalbahn to the Mauterndorf train station and thus to the Taurachbahn of Club 760. On July 19, 2018 she drove a museum freight train with passenger transport from Mauterndorf (Taurachbahn) to Murau (Murtalbahn) and back. It is now in use on the Taurachbahn.

Replica

A replica of five almost identical locomotives did not take place until 1944 at Henschel in Kassel. These locomotives were no longer used during the war, but were later used on various railways. Two locomotives ran on the Jagsttalbahn as 151 and 152, one locomotive came to the Göttingen Kleinbahn as 12 II . The Jagsttalbahn 151 was shut down in 1954 and scrapped in 1960. The 152 was in use until 1965 and was parked in Dörzbach until 1976. Then the German Society for Railway History bought it for its collection. In 1997 the narrow-gauge collection was dissolved and the locomotive was sold to Walter Seidensticker. It is stored in a depot in the Army Museum in Ingolstadt .

A prototype built by Krauss-Maffei in 1939 remained in Czechoslovakia after the Second World War . The locomotive ran until 1962 on the Králův Dvůr – Koněprusy works .

technology

Aquarius C leaves a train station tender first

The locomotive has an outer frame . In order to be able to drive on even small radiuses , which is of particular importance on light rail lines, the end axles are not permanently mounted, but rather designed as Klien-Lindner hollow axles , which have proven themselves in use. A standard Heeresfeldbahntender 2 T6 was used as the tender.
