The steam locomotive Hohenlimburger Kleinbahn 1 (second occupation) was built by the Jung locomotive factory for the Hohenlimburger Kleinbahn . It entered service in 1927 and was the company's second three-axle locomotive. It was in use until 1961 and will be available as an exhibit in the Machine and Local History Museum in Eslohe in 2020 . The locomotive was given the number 1 of the decommissioned locomotive 1 with a second crew.
history
Since the tram locomotives 1–3, 4–5 and 6 used by the Hohenlimburg Kleinbahn were increasingly having problems with the increasing train loads, the company ordered a new type of locomotive from Jung which was supposed to develop twice the tractive force of the machines previously used. In addition, the locomotive should be able to negotiate the usual curve radius of 15 m on routes and plant connections and reach a top speed of 20 km / h.
Two years before this locomotive, a similar locomotive with the same wheel arrangement and the designation 4 was delivered with a second crew, but with parameters that differed in terms of dimensions and power.
technology
This C-coupler was a superheated steam locomotive with a relatively short wheelbase of 1,600 mm. Thanks to the powerful boiler, the locomotive looked beefy and voluminous. The middle axle did not have a flange so that it could negotiate the curve radius of 15 m . It had electrical lighting ex works with tail lights integrated into the rear wall of the driver's cab.
commitment
The locomotive remained in service until it was replaced by the V1 – V5 diesel locomotives . In 1954 the machine received a final general inspection from the manufacturer. It is the company's only surviving steam locomotive. It was initially intended as a memorial in Hohenlimburg , but these plans came to nothing. After almost ten years of storage, the locomotive came into the possession of an entrepreneur in Eslohe ; today it is an exhibit in the Eslohe Machine and Local History Museum .
