The locomotives Hohenlimburger Kleinbahn 1-3 were tramway locomotives of Hohenzollern Locomotive Works , which came from a manufactured from 1898 to 1910 in 17 copies series.
The three locomotives were procured for the Hohenlimburg Kleinbahn in 1900 and were in use there until 1935.
The other 14 locomotives were procured for the Bayer works railway ; nothing is known about these locomotives.
History and commitment
In the Hohenlimburg small railway, two locomotives were used in the railway construction as early as 1899. Due to the characteristics of the route with numerous city crossings with sometimes tight curve radii, two-axle box locomotives were well suited for operation during the early days.
The locomotives were given numbers 1 to 3 and the names Hohenlimburg , Nahmer and Lenne . Until the First World War , the locomotives took over the main load of the operation. In addition, two more locomotives were procured from the Hohenzollern locomotive factory (with lower output) and the Humboldt mechanical engineering company .
The locomotives were in service until the 1930s, when they were replaced by newer box locomotives and other types of steam locomotives, with the superheated steam locomotives having a higher performance.
Locomotive 1 was retired in 1927, number 3 in 1934 and number 2 in 1935.
technology
For operation on roads with rails, the control was built on inside to protect it from dirt. The train driver and stoker had their workplace next to the boiler and thus had a good overview of the route. The locomotives were completely covered with the exception of a section of the drive wheels.
The steam engine was of the wet steam design. The boiler had 93 heating tubes, each 35/40 mm in diameter and 1,950 mm in length. It consisted of only one shot, it had an inner diameter of 827 mm, its boiler axis was 1.7 meters above the top of the rail . The two steam cylinders were designed as internal engines. They were arranged slightly inclined under the smoke chamber and acted on the double-cranked rear drive axle. The regulator and control were located next to the dome in the middle of the boiler.
The locomotives were later rebuilt, which concerned the pulling and bumpers and the spark arrester . The large side cutout at the rear of the locomotive was later provided with glazing.
