The meter-gauge steam locomotives MBE 1-3 were built by the Borsig locomotive factory for Vering & Waechter and used for the Müllheim – Badenweiler line in Baden . The locomotives were in use until the line was electrified and were then passed on to other railways operated by Vering & Waechter . The stationing of a machine on the Spremberg Stadtbahn is known as number 6 . The machines were in place until the end of the 1950s when they were scrapped.
History and commitment
The locomotives were procured and used while the line was being built. When the opening train with the number 1 was pulled on February 16, 1896 , it consisted of three passenger cars with a length over buffers of 10,810 mm. This load was not a problem for a locomotive on the line, which had gradients of 25 ‰ in places. When the train loads increased, two locomotives drove the trains, which were getting longer and heavier. This also led to the procurement of MBE 4 in 1898 . The main task was trains to the health resort Badenweiler .
As early as 1898, the MBE 1 was sold to the Spremberg Stadtbahn as number 6 . The locomotive ran there until 1957, when it became a heating engine. The MBE 2 went to the Oberrheinische Eisenbahn-Gesellschaft as number 61 II in 1920 and was used there until 1954. The MBE 3 came to a power station in Mannheim in 1916 .
technology
The locomotives had an inner frame with a water tank riveted into the frame cheeks as well as a smaller outer water tank on both sides of the boiler on the right and a coal tank for 1 t of fuel on the left in front of the driver's cab. The iron kettle had a copper firebox . The wheels of the locomotives were wrought-iron spoked wheels. Axles, bandages, piston rods, crosshead and springs of the locomotive were made of the best quality steel, while all bolts of the control mechanism and the crank pins were made of fine grain iron.
They had Allan controls . The slide valves were at an angle on the steam cylinder. Characteristic of the locomotives were the Ramsbotton type safety valve in front of the driver's cab , a sandpit with sand downpipes between the two drive wheels, a steam dome, a Latowski type bell between the two domes and a balance lever coupling with a triangle chain. In terms of braking technology, the locomotives were equipped with a Körting type suction air brake and a handbrake.
