The Kerkerbachbahn 15 and 16 steam locomotives were meter-gauge tank locomotives with five driving and coupling axles, originally built by Henschel ( 15 ) and the Jung ( 16 ) machine company as a tender locomotive for the Heeresfeldbahn with a gauge of 760 mm. After the Second World War , they were re- tracked to meter gauge, used on the Kerkerbach Railway until 1960 and 1962 , and then scrapped.
History and commitment
prehistory
In 1941, the Army High Command ordered three separate tender locomotives for the 750 mm gauge from the Arnold Jung and Henschel & Sohn locomotive factories. The locomotives with a total length of around 17 m and a total weight of 60 t could not be used freely. Two of these locomotives were used in Bosnia during the war and stayed there. After 1945 the other four locomotives were in Nuremberg .
Kerkerbachbahn
In 1948, the Kerkerbach Railway workshop switched two locomotives to meter gauge and converted them into tank locomotives. It was given the numbers 15 and 16 . Jung created the design drawings for it.
The two five-couplers managed the traffic on the narrow-gauge railway until the end of narrow-gauge operation. The Henschel locomotive had flange lubrication, the Jung locomotive did not. The 16 was parked and scrapped in 1960.
The 15 carried the farewell special train in December 1960. It was then used to dismantle the line and scrapped in 1962.
Constructive features
The locomotives had an inner frame. The middle axle, designed as a driving axle, had no flange , the first coupling axle had a side play of 20 mm, the fourth a side play of 32 mm. The running axles were designed as Bissel axles, with the rear axle having a long frame with an outer frame.
The two-cylinder machines were equipped with a superheated steam boiler. The steam was superheated to temperatures of up to 300 ° C with a superheater. Outwardly, the locomotives were almost identical, the Henschel locomotive had a chimney brim.
The locomotives had two sandboxes. From the beginning they were equipped with electrical lighting, as a coupling, in addition to the central buffer coupling, there was also a somewhat offset normal pulling and buffing device for use on the three-rail track.
