The type series KHD A6M 324 R was a three-axle diesel locomotive with a rod drive that was designed for shunting service. From 1938 to 1943, 16 locomotives were built by Klöckner-Humboldt-Deutz (KHD), these were in service until the 1970s, none of them has survived.

A locomotive was briefly on the Deutsche Bundesbahn as the V 22 100 .

development

The development of diesel locomotives for use by the Wehrmacht goes back to the mid-1930s. The name of the locomotive was derived from the engine name; A6M 324 R means: engine series A = vertical four-stroke diesel engine in a row arrangement, 6 = number of cylinders, M = water-cooled, 3 = development stage 3 of the engine, 24 = piston stroke of the engine in cm, R = regular-gauge shunting locomotive.

16 locomotives of this type series were built for various companies in Germany and France :

Four locomotives were delivered to France.

technology

The locomotives had a relatively long engine front and behind it a spacious driver's cab with large windows. The power was transmitted by means of a rod drive , with the jackshaft as a transmission output shaft located behind the drive wheels under the driver's cab. Of the dummy shaft , a drive rod leading to the central axis and from each a coupling rod to the other axes.

They were powered by a high-speed six-cylinder four-stroke diesel engine from KHD, which was followed by a four-speed change gearbox with a reversing gear following a dry single-disc clutch . The arrangement of the jackshaft outside of the group of wheels did not allow higher speeds.

commitment

Wehrmacht

The locomotive was delivered in 1940 and was based in Hanover .

DB V 22 100

In 1947 it was taken over by the Deutsche Bundesbahn and designated as V 22 100 . The stationing dates were: 1948-1949 in Nordenham , 1950 in Vegesack , 1951 Bw Rheydt and the Opladen repair shop . The locomotive was retired in the same year.

In 1953 it came to the Mindener Kreisbahnen together with the V 16 100 . Here it was used in front of freight trains with passenger transport with a maximum of three cars to Wegholm . It was also used on the route to Kleinenbremen . She was with the Kreisbahn for more than 20 years and was transferred to the Netherlands in 1975 for the Museumstoomtram Hoorn-Medemblik . The locomotive carried freight trains there until 1976, when it was parked and scrapped in 1979.

Reich Ministry of Aviation

The locomotive was delivered to Berlin in 1940. In the same year she was transferred to a company near Felixdorf in Lower Austria . In 1955 the locomotive became part of the state railway and was given the series number 2166.01 by the Austrian Federal Railways . The locomotive was used in the internal shunting at a plant in Wörth. In 1976 it was retired.

The locomotive is similar in details to the ÖBB 2066 , which is in the Strasshof Railway Museum .
