The type series KHD A6M 220 R type B was a two-axle diesel locomotive with rod drive , which was designed for shunting service. At least two copies of it were produced by Klöckner-Humboldt-Deutz (KHD). These are available from the Verden Railway Friends and the Museum Railway Minden .
development
The development of diesel locomotives for the Wehrmacht goes back to the mid-1930s. The exact number of manufactured locomotives of the small two-axle locomotives is not known. From 1936 a KHD A6M 220 R was manufactured at KHD . Two locomotives were built with the B wheel arrangement, six more were built with the C wheel arrangement.
technology
The locomotives have a machine front end and a driver's cab behind it. The power is transmitted by a rod drive , with the jackshaft being mounted as a transmission output shaft between the drive wheels. The locomotives have a drive rod to the first axle and a coupling rod between the first and second axles as power transmission to the gearbox. This form of power transmission is still available today in the Verden locomotive, the MKB V5 was converted after the Second World War so that both axles are driven directly by the jackshaft.
The locomotive had a high-speed six-cylinder four-stroke diesel engine from KHD. In 1957 the VWE locomotive received a new KHD A8L 614 engine with air cooling and V-shaped cylinders. A single-disc dry clutch was followed by a change gear with reversing gear. The MKB V5 locomotive had an overdrive and could reach a speed of 60 km / h. The VWE locomotive did not have this facility and could only travel at 30 km / h.
The locomotives have a spacious driver's cab with large windows.
commitment
DB V 16 100 / MKB V5
The locomotive was originally from the Wehrmacht in Anklam and came to the Deutsche Bundesbahn after the Second World War , where it was given the road number V 16 100 . In 1950 the locomotive was in the holdings of the Essen Federal Railway Directorate before it came to the Mindener Kreisbahnen in 1953 .
At the Mindener Kreisbahnen it was used for shunting services and transfer journeys until 1969 and was called MKB V5 . If one railcar failed, the locomotive occasionally performed replacement services with two passenger cars. In 1969 the locomotive was used in an iron ore mine in Kleinenbremen . It has been part of the Minden Museum Railway Collection since 1977 .
V241 / VWE No. 2
The locomotive was delivered directly to the Verden-Walsroder Railway in 1939, where it was listed as No. 2. From 1950 it carried the designation V241 of the Lower Saxony State Railway Authority . It was sold in 1953 to a company in Dortmund , which passed it on to the Jung company in exchange . Jung loaned the machine to the Rheinisch-Westfälische Elektrizitätswerke, among others . There the locomotive suffered an engine failure and was sold to the Steinhuder Meer-Bahn in 1957 , where it was again given the number V241. The locomotive received its eight-cylinder four-stroke diesel engine with air cooling from the company, whereupon it also carried light freight trains.
In 1980 the locomotive was retired and passed on to a scrap dealer. Members of the Weserbergland steam railway from Rinteln saw the locomotive there and bought it from the scrap dealer in 1981. The machine was purchased in 1990 by the Verden Railway Friends and externally rebuilt. The locomotive has been preserved.
