As Martens'sche Einheitsliliputlok one is steam locomotive with the wheel arrangement 2'C1 ' for Liliputbahnen referred. From 1925 to 1950, 15 copies were built by Krauss & Co. (from 1931: Krauss-Maffei ) in Munich . The vehicles have a track width of 381 mm (15 inches ).
Constructive features
The locomotives , which roughly correspond to a standard-gauge Pacific express train locomotive on a scale of 1: 3.33, are similar to the DR series 01 and 03 , but are not based on a specific prototype, but rather stand-alone designs.
The locomotives have a bar frame that merges into an outer frame behind the third drive axle to accommodate a fire box that is spacious for this narrow gauge . The running gear with leading bogie , flanged middle drive wheel set and rear running axle allows a constraint-free driving through track radii of 20 meters. It has coupling axle bearings that can be adjusted by means of an adjusting wedge, high-pressure lubricating press of the "Wörner" type, vapor barrier for all wheelsets of the locomotive and suction air brake and hand brake for the tender . The boilers of the machines were equipped with two water level glasses, two high-lift safety valves and two steam jet pumps for feeding the boiler.
History of the Locomotives

In 1925 the first three locomotives were built according to a design by the engineer Roland Martens and presented at the German Transport Exhibition in Munich. Later they came to the Rheinbahn , which they used at the GeSoLei (Great Exhibition for Health Care, Social Welfare and Physical Exercise) in Düsseldorf . Together with five other locomotives from a second series, they came to the Leipzig light rail company Brangsch, which they used at exhibitions in Germany and Central Europe. Since 1928, three of the vehicles have been permanently at home on the Liliputbahn in Vienna's Prater . The locomotives of the first series survived the Second World War in a quarry and in 1950 came to today's Dresden Park Railway , one of the locomotives was transferred to the Leipzig Park Railway in 1951 .
Another four locomotives were delivered to Seville in 1929 , two of the last three Martens standard- gauge locomotives built in 1950 went to the Killesbergbahn in Stuttgart , one was delivered to India in the 1950s as a gift for an order for standard gauge locomotives and arrived in 1958 handed over the National Bal-Bhavan-Park (since 2006 not operational). Of the four machines originally used in Seville in 1929, one (further) went to the Killesbergbahn in 2014, so that there are now three machines of the same type. Another locomotive from the Sevilla series was sold to the Ravenglass & Eskdale Railway in 2015 .
In 1937, Krupp in Essen produced three locomotives very similar to the Krauss locomotives, but more powerful, with the serial numbers 1662 to 1664 and the names "Rosenkavalier", "Männertreu" and "Fleißiges Lieschen". It is not known to what extent Roland Martens was also involved in their construction. These came first to Düsseldorf , where they were used at the Reich Exhibition Schaffendes Volk , a National Socialist propaganda show. They were then stored at the Cologne-Frechen-Benzelrath Railway . In 1950 they were used on the occasion of the 1900 anniversary of Cologne in the local Rheinpark , in 1953 at the German Transport Exhibition in Munich and in 1957 again in the Cologne Rheinpark at the local Federal Garden Show in 1957 . Two examples were sold to the British Bressingham Steam Museum in 1972 , and the third locomotive, named “Busy Lieschen”, also came to Great Britain in 1976. It has since been used on the Romney, Hythe and Dymchurch Railway . There it was given the name "Black Prince", a color scheme based on the standard steam locomotives of the Reichsbahn and smoke deflectors of the Witte type . The other two locomotives are in operation in Bressingham on the Waveney Valley Railway there . In 1996 the “Männertreu” locomotive was temporarily brought back to Düsseldorf and used at the Rheinbahn anniversary exhibition .
