The Hohenlimburger Kleinbahn 3 (second occupation) was a three-axle diesel locomotive with rod drive , which was developed by the Deutsche Werken (DWK) for operation on the Hohenlimburger Kleinbahn and was used there for several years. The locomotive was given the number of the decommissioned steam locomotive 3 . The whereabouts of the locomotive is not known.
development
Due to the complaints of the residents of the Hohenlimburg Kleinbahn regarding smoke and noise from the steam locomotives, the company made an attempt to use a diesel locomotive here in the early 1930s.
Since DWK already had a type program of diesel locomotives on offer in 1932, a D 175 locomotive from the program was converted into a narrow-gauge locomotive . Due to the lower axle loads on the tram-like Hohenlimburg small railway, the locomotive was designed as a three-axle locomotive. The only built locomotive was delivered in 1934 and immediately put into operation. The machine has received the number 3 in the second occupancy at the Hohenlimburger Kleinbahn.
technology
Compared to the standard-gauge D 175 , the locomotive, which was used on the Hohenlimburg small railway, was given an outer frame. Due to the lower axle load, the three-axle version was chosen. In order to be able to negotiate the small curve radii existing on the Hohenlimburg small railway , the middle axle of the locomotive was designed without a flange .
The machinery consisted of a six-cylinder four-stroke diesel engine from DWK and a mechanical transmission from the same manufacturer. It enabled the locomotive to travel at the following speeds: 4.6 km / h in first gear, 7 km / h in second gear, 12 km / h in third gear and 18 km / h in fourth gear. The power transmission came from the gearbox to the location under the cab blind shaft , which was stored outside of the axis group. The drive wheels, which were driven with crank pins due to the outer frame, were driven via drive and coupling rods.
There was a leaf spring over each drive wheel . The locomotive had a total of six sand spreaders, two in front of the front wheels and two in front of the rear wheels for driving forward and two behind the rear wheels for driving backward. The locomotive was equipped with a compressed air brake and a throw lever handbrake, the lighting was done electrically via an alternator and a battery.
commitment
From July 1936, the locomotive was in service with the Nahmertalbahn, but could not meet the requirements placed on it. That is why it was returned to the manufacturer DWK in February 1937. In the 1930s, it is said to have been moved to the IG Farben works railway . The further path of the locomotive is not known, nor is its whereabouts.
