The standard-gauge tank locomotives of the Hohenzollern type Vochem were five-axle industrial railway locomotives without running axles made by the manufacturer Hohenzollern .
Four locomotives are known to have been sold to mining companies such as the Hibernia colliery . The number of units varies, since in documents some locomotives of the Lintfort type were assigned to the Vochem type .
Two copies were delivered to the Cologne-Bonn Railways (KBE), where the machines were named KBE 70 and 71 . The locomotives were taken out of service by 1968, one example has not been preserved.
history
The type Vochem is one of the last locomotive types produced by the manufacturer Hohenzollern.
Cologne-Bonn Railway 70 and 71
Two locomotives with the serial numbers 4077 and 4078 were sold to the Cologne-Bonn Railways . The locomotives manufactured in 1920 were originally named KBE 60 and KBE 61 . In 1922 they were redrawn as KBE 70 and KBE 71 . It was the company's first five-axle locomotives.
The locomotives could not convince in operation. They were poor steam generators and had poor running properties. The grate was too big for the stokers. Therefore, the following purchases were made with the KBE 80 to a locomotive with the axle arrangement 1'D1 '.
They were taken out of service in 1960 before the locomotives of industrial companies and were scrapped in 1961.
Industrial companies
The two other locomotives with the serial numbers 4548 and 4662 were sold to industrial companies such as the Hibernia colliery and the Rheinpreußen AG for mining and chemistry . The locomotives were valued shunting locomotives because of their efficiency and friction. The machines were in operation until 1966 and were taken out of service and scrapped by 1968.
construction
The superheated steam locomotives had a riveted sheet metal frame that was additionally stiffened by box elements. The engine had a Heusinger control with flat slides and worked on the third axis. The high-performance boiler carried a rectangular sandpit in front of and behind the steam dome, the second, third and fourth axis could be sanded on each side of the engine via four sand downpipes. Two pop- type safety valves were placed in large sound-absorbing sleeves in front of the cab.
The first and fifth axles were laterally displaceable and the flange of the driving axle was weakened by 6 mm. With the KBE the smoothness of the locomotive was described as very bad. The wheels of the locomotive carried large, sector-shaped counterweights. Originally the machine was equipped with rod buffers , later they were exchanged for sleeve buffers during operation. The pulling force of the locomotives was 1476 kN.
