The Hohenlimburger Kleinbahn 2 locomotive (second occupation) was a tram locomotive of the Hohenlimburger Kleinbahn manufactured by the Henschel locomotive factory . The locomotive entered service in 1935 and was the company's most powerful box-type steam locomotive. The locomotive was in service until 1960. The locomotive was given the number of the decommissioned locomotive 2 .

history

The locomotive was procured because in 1935 with the No. 2 the last of the old box locomotives had left and a replacement was needed. In its execution it was based closely on the Hohenlimburger Kleinbahn 6 and was referred to as the Hohenlimburger Kleinbahn 2 in its second occupation.

technology

The report on the counter-approval procedure with the complete description is available for the locomotive. The 2 II had no engine cowling. The smoke chamber was pulled forward to the end of the box. This enabled better cleaning, but inside it was no longer possible to circulate around the locomotive. The locomotive only had one step on the rear side. The pages for the engine driver and stoker were designed differently. At the rear end there was an ascent to the coal bunker.

Technically, the locomotive corresponded to No. 6 , but had a much larger cylinder diameter. This gave the locomotive a higher pulling force.

The fuel tanks were attached to the left and right of the side walls behind the standing boiler, the water supply was located in a tank between the two 35 mm thick frame cheeks and in other water tanks located laterally under the driver's cab. The locomotive had a vapor brake and a handbrake.

In addition to a steam whistle, there was a steam bell and a foot bell. The electrical lighting was powered by a Henschel turbo generator . In addition to the two lamps on the front ends, there were also ceiling lights under the roof.

In a later renovation, it received smaller windows above the smoke chamber.

commitment

After delivery, it had the greatest performance of all the locomotives of the Hohenlimburg small railway. It was one of the locomotives that could only be replaced by diesel locomotives . It was parked with two locomotives from Jung in 1960 and scrapped at the Westfälische Lokomotiv-Fabrik Hattingen Karl Reuschling .
