The EDWARD BURY to PFEIL were double- coupled tender locomotives of the Leipzig-Dresden Railway (LDE).
history
The four locomotives were delivered to the LDE from Bury , Liverpool / England in 1838 . They were named EDWARD BURY , DRACHE , ADLER and PFEIL .
The locomotives were retired between 1847 and 1854.
technical features
The kettle was riveted from several shots. The standing boiler was equipped with a semicircular dome that protruded far beyond the long boiler and served as a steam collecting room. The two spring balance safety valves were located on the standing tank. Two piston pumps, which were driven by an axle via eccentrics, were used to feed the boiler .
The steam cylinders were arranged according to British design principles in below axial plane, which is a costly and difficult to manufacture Kropf axis necessitated. The second coupled axle was driven. The steam engine was probably equipped with a simple Stephenson control without a steam expansion stage, which did not allow any filling control.
The locomotives did not have their own braking equipment. The brakes were only applied using the tender's hand-operated spindle brake.
