The Paul locomotive was a two-axle motor locomotive with rod drive that was built for the Juist Island Railway. The locomotive was put into service with a gasoline engine and later converted to a diesel engine . It was in use until the 1960s and was scrapped in 1967.

development

The Inselbahn Juist had already had Deutz locomotives in its inventory since 1899, which were very similar to tram locomotives and where the locomotive driver was exposed to the weather. The Deutz LM 116 locomotive with the factory number Deutz 6630 , delivered brand new in 1925, was equipped with an engine from the Oberursel engine factory .

It was named Paul after the orthopedic surgeon Paul Schlichthorst.

In 1967 the locomotive was retired and scrapped.

technology

The locomotive already had side doors and glazing on the front sides, it was the last and most powerful machine with a gasoline engine on the Juist island railway. Typically for early Deutz locomotives, it had round cab windows and stems for the engine and the auxiliaries. Originally only equipped with a simple side door without glazing, it received an additional side window and a higher door when it was converted, which enabled a driver's cab that was locked on all sides.

The machine system initially consisted of a four-cylinder, four-stroke gasoline engine with a capacity of 6648 cm 3 , which delivered 40 hp (29 kW) at a speed of 1000 rpm, and a mechanical transmission. The engine had a cylinder diameter of 115 mm and a stroke of 160 mm.

In 1935 the locomotive was converted to diesel operation with a Deutz diesel engine with an output of 45 hp (33 kW). After 1955, the engine output was increased to 75 hp (55 kW). Around 1958, when the driver's cab was converted, it received additional rectangular side windows and new doors. A jackshaft with drive and coupling rods arranged between the axles was used for power transmission .

Special

Similar locomotives, but in standard gauge design, exist with the designation Deutz LM 216R , one of which was still preserved in Lüneburg in 2012 .
