The four-axle Mallet composite locomotives MAG 1 and 2 as well as FBG 1 and 2 were procured by the West German Railway Company for the Mosel Railway (MAG) and Filderbahn (FBG) in 1902 from the Hohenzollern locomotive factory.
Three locomotives came to the Deutsche Eisenbahn-Gesellschaft (DEG) in the 1950s and were decommissioned and scrapped by the Moselle Railway by 1960.
history
The locomotives were procured as part of a vehicle pool from the West German Railway Company (WeEG) and were intended for freight traffic on the Mosel Railway and the Filderbahn.
At the Moselbahn, passenger and freight traffic was separated from the opening. Therefore, only mallet locomotives with four driving axles were considered for the expected volume of goods in sand pits and quarries on the Moselle Railway with the narrow track radii.
After Mallet locomotives were offered by some locomotive manufacturers, the WeEG decided in 1902 to purchase four locomotives from the Hohenzollern Aktiengesellschaft für Lokomotivbau, two of which were used on the Moselle and two on the Filderbahn. The locomotives could carry up to ten four-axle passenger cars. In addition to its number, the MAG 1 locomotive had the name Mosel .
The mallet locomotives used by the Filderbahn were returned after the delivery of two locomotives from the Humboldt mechanical engineering company with the D wheel arrangement. The FBG 1 came to the Bergheimer Kreisbahn , where it loses its track. The FBG 2 was transferred to the Moselbahn, where it was designated as number 9 and became the mallet locomotive that had been in operation for the longest.
All Mallet locomotives on the Moselle Railway survived the Second World War , and number 9 had to be parked damaged after fighting towards the end of the war. It wasn't until 1950 that it began to be repaired, which lasted until 1951. The next main inspection takes place in 1956/57.
After that, the locomotive, now called DEG 66, was in operation until 1960 and was the last mallet locomotive to be retired and scrapped. The other two locomotives had already been retired in 1956 and 1958.
construction
The boiler, which was 2.1 m above the upper edge of the rail , consisted of two sections, on the rear was a large steam dome 65 cm in diameter and 78 cm high. The fire box was low, its ceiling was inclined slightly to ensure that it was constantly covered with water when the movement was rough. Compared to the short-stroke cylinders, the locomotive wheels looked relatively large. The leaf springs were arranged below the axle shafts, and the springs in an engine were connected to one another by compensating levers.
The cylinders had slanted flat slides . Both engines had separate sandboxes on the top of the boiler, which were operated by hand control. The large water tanks held a total of 6 m³, and the Latowski bell was located between the steam and the rear sand dome. The safety valve was of the Ramsbottom type . Locomotives 1 and 9 wore carbide lighting until the very end .
