The Henschel DG 26 were small locomotives from Henschel that were manufactured from 1948 to 1951. 34 machines are known that were manufactured in standard gauge up to 1951 . The task of the vehicles was to move them onto transfer tracks in private companies.
A locomotive was used on the Marburger Kreisbahn . After a long period of operation, some examples have been preserved on museum railways or as memorials.
Development and technology
The engines were built according to the Lanova system and, like the mechanical transmissions, came from Henschel's truck construction. The designation of the locomotive is derived as follows: DG = diesel geared locomotive and 26 = engine power 26 HP. They were created on the basis of a distribution agreement with the R. Dolberg machine and field railway factory , which was valid until 1951. Henschel was responsible for production, while Dolberg handled sales . Within the type group there were design variants that were marked with a Roman suffix.
The locomotives have a front end for the machine system and a driver's cab, similar to the DR small locomotive performance group I (Kö). The semicircular shape of the front structure and the two rectangular cab windows at the front and rear are features of the locomotives.
The machine system is a two-cylinder four-stroke diesel engine with upright cylinders, which drives a mechanical gear with reversing gear via a multi-plate clutch . The drive axles are driven from the gearbox output via a pair of chains. The locomotives were equipped with a mechanical brake. According to the Railway Building and Operating Regulations, they were not approved for operation on federal railways . A pulling and buffing device of the standard design made it possible to maneuver regular vehicles. The vehicles were primarily used for larger operations for shunting, including the Marburger Kreisbahn V 26 locomotive , which was later given a designation by the German Railway Company (DEG V 26).
commitment
Marburg District Railway V 26
The locomotive was delivered to the Marburg Kreisbahn in 1950 and served the tank farm in Marburg Südbahnhof until 1972 . Then it was used for another year at a tar factory in Marburg and then sold. The further whereabouts are not known.
Klöckner works
The locomotive was initially manufactured by Henschel as a storage locomotive. At a point in time that could not be determined, she came to the Klöckner works and was deployed in Bremen until 1997. Then it was sold to the Osnabrück Steam Engine Friends, who erected it as a memorial.
Prussian Electricity AG
The Preussische Elektrizitäts AG received a locomotive that was used in the Rhumspringe power station . This was acquired by a private association in 1978 and erected as a memorial in the former power plant site. A second locomotive was delivered in 1954. It was used until 1996 and then came as an exhibit to the Hessian lignite mining museum in Borken .
Cologne petrol refinery
The Cölner petrol refinery near Benzelrath acquired a locomotive in 1950, which was used until 1989. Then it was sold to a private person and is now on loan at the Rheinisches Industriebahn-Museum .
Kleinwanzlebener seed breeding
The Kleinwanzlebener Saatzucht in Einbeck received a locomotive in the 1950s, it was used until the 1990s and then came to the German Works Railway Museum in Hanover .
Litter corrosion protection
The Litterer Korrosionsschutz company in Mannheim received a locomotive in 1951, it stayed with them until the 1990s and was erected as a memorial on the factory premises in 2016.
Chemical factory Ludwig Brüggemann
This locomotive was produced as a storage building, it went to the chemical factory Ludwig Brüggemann in Heilbronn in the 1950s . It operated here until the 1990s, then it came to the Zollernbahn Railway Friends in 1994 and to the Friesoyther Railway Company in 2006 . The last database entry for the locomotive dates from 2019.
