The LUSATIA to OYBIN were double- coupled tender locomotives of the Löbau-Zittauer Eisenbahngesellschaft (LZE) for mixed service.
history
The five locomotives were delivered to LZE in 1847 by Cockerill , Seraing / Belgium with the serial numbers 185 to 189. They were named LUSATIA , BOHEMIA , ZITTAU , LÖBAU and OYBIN . The following year, the OYBIN was sold to the Saxon-Bohemian State Railroad , where it was used as DRESDEN from then on. The remaining locomotives provided their service for a period of about 20 years on the main line Löbau – Zittau, where they were used before all trains.
From 1863 they were replaced by newly delivered locomotives from the Saxon manufacturer Hartmann . The BOHEMIA was sold to the Zittau-Reichenberger Eisenbahn in 1869 . It drove there as REICHENBERG until it was retired in 1881 . When the LZE was nationalized in 1871, two machines belonged to the inventory that came to the Royal Saxon State Railways . The former LUSATIA remained in operation there until 1889. With a total of 42 years of service, it reached the highest age of all early Saxon locomotives supplied by foreign manufacturers.
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 externally arranged steam cylinders drove the first coupling axle. The steam engine was probably equipped with an internal 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.
