Two -axle locomotives from the Jung locomotive factory were designated as Jung R 30 B , 17 of which were manufactured from 1956 and used in shunting and light freight train services. Some machines have been preserved.
history
The R 30 B belongs to the third post-war generation of young locomotives, which consisted of a total of seven types; The name Jung R 30 B was derived from R = shunting locomotive, 30 = about 1/10 of the engine power in HP and B = wheel arrangement.
The pioneer of the R 30 B was the Westerwaldbahn , which in 1956 initially procured two locomotives for its freight train service. Locomotives with weaker performance and multiple controls were purchased, which, if necessary, could drive heavier trains in double traction on the company's steep routes.
17 locomotives had been delivered by 1962:
- 4 locomotives to the Westerwaldbahn,
- 10 locomotives for private companies in Düsseldorf and Duisburg ,
- 3 locomotives to Italy .
technology
The locomotives have a simple front structure for the machinery and a driver's cab behind it. The engine room was angled at the front to improve visibility. The porch had doors for maintenance of the machinery. In the driver's cab the driver's table is in the middle of the front wall. Controls for driving and braking are available on both sides of the cab. The locomotive has a sheet metal frame made of sheet metal cheeks with a thickness of 15 mm and a buffer beam. The entire frame is made of welded construction. The drive consists of two axles with leaf springs and slide bearings . The springs are supported above the axle bearings. Originally the wheelbase was 2,500 mm, later the locomotives were delivered with 3,000 mm wheelbase.
The machinery consisted of a four-cylinder two-stroke diesel engine and hydraulic power transmission. The transmission came from Voith and had a start-up converter and a speed converter. The downstream and pneumatically switched reversing gear from Jung were screwed onto the fluid flow gear. The multi-step gearbox was operated mechanically via a lever on the rear wall of the driver's cab. Both transmissions could only be switched when the vehicle was stationary. The jackshaft is arranged between the axles, and the axles are driven via connecting rods. The engine was originally started with compressed air, from 1963 an electric starter was used.
Some locomotives have been equipped with a multiple control, with which two locomotives can be operated by one engine driver. When operating in triple or quadruple traction, which occurred with the Westerwaldbahn, two locomotives always had to be manned by a driver. The locomotives were equipped with a Knorr type indirect brake and had a compressed air whistle, a compressed air bell and a safety driving circuit .
commitment
WEBA V 26.1-4
The Westerwaldbahn designates its locomotives as WEBA V 26.1–4 and used them primarily to transport heavy loads in the direction of the valley. Remarkably long trains were pulled by the locomotives. Smaller loads had to be transported uphill; if necessary, a quadruple traction with the performance of a V 100 could be offered with the locomotives .
The V 26.3 handled the rest of the freight traffic on the Westerwaldbahn until 2017 and was shut down in the same year due to pending repair work.
Preserved locomotives
Some locomotives are still available today (2019). You have received the NVR number "98 80 3944" in the German vehicle settings register.
A locomotive delivered to Berzelius Metallhütten in Duisburg in 1964 has been a museum locomotive at the Bismarck Railway Depot in Gelsenkirchen-Bismarck since 2006 .
