The locomotives WODAN and THOR the Mecklenburg Railway Company were freight train steam locomotives of the type B1.
history
Soon after the opening of the Schwerin-Rostock railway line , it became clear that freight traffic could not be managed with the class II locomotives. The NICLOT locomotive was therefore purchased in 1859 for daily freight trains . Due to the increasing volume of traffic, the Mecklenburg Railway Company bought two locomotives with the unusual B1 wheel arrangement in 1866 and 1868. The locomotives from the Hanoverian manufacturer Egestorff were named WODAN and THOR . The machines were used on the route from Hagenow to Rostock until they were replaced by class VIII and IX locomotives . After that, the locomotives were still used in the subordinate route service and in shunting service. The decommissioning took place between 1903 and 1905. When the locomotives were nationalized to the Grand Ducal Mecklenburg Friedrich-Franz Railway in 1890, they were numbered 58 and 59 and were renumbered 302 and 303 in 1895.
Constructive features
The locomotives had an internal sheet metal frame. The long boiler was three-shot. The steam dome with the safety valve sat on the front part of the boiler. The fire box ceiling of the standing kettle was too high and the smoke chamber was enlarged.
The two-cylinder wet steam engine was arranged horizontally on the outside. The sliding boxes and the Allan controls were inside. The coupling rod acted on the second axis.
The coupling wheels were suspended between the axles via a common leaf spring package. Compensation levers were located above the coupling axles . The trailing axle was cushioned by a transverse leaf spring.
The cab was closed at the front and had side windows. A screw brake on the tender served as a brake. The locomotives were coupled with a 3 T 7.9 tender .
