The no. 8 of the Prussian mining and huts AG in Hindenburg was a fünffachgekuppelte tank locomotive to operate on the local dirt track . Along with its sister locomotive No. 9, it was considered the heaviest and most powerful tank locomotive in Germany .
history
The first five-coupled tank locomotives were delivered by Borsig to the Upper Silesian Sand Railways as early as 1913 . (see: GA No. 1 )
In 1936, the now Borsig-Lokomotiv-Werke GmbH in Hennigsdorf manufactured a 1'E1 'h2 locomotive with the factory number 14637 for the Preußische Bergwerks- und Hütten AG, which had an axle drive mass of 23 t and a service mass of 139.4 t heaviest tank locomotive built in Germany. It was given company number 8 by the customer.
The locomotive was able to move a 1,700 t freight train at a speed of 35 km / h on a gradient of 8 per thousand (for comparison: the class 41 standard locomotive only managed 890 t on the same gradient at the same speed) .
Another locomotive with similar technical data was delivered in the same year by Berliner Maschinenbau AG (BMAG) to Preußische Bergwerks- und Hütten AG, where it was classified under the company number 9 .
After the Second World War, the Polish state expropriated the company's mining facilities in Upper Silesia. Locomotive No. 8 was assigned to the newly established state sand railway Przedsiębiorstwo Materiałów Podsadzkowych Przemysłu Węglowego (PMPPW) and was given the new operating number TKz-224. Her whereabouts are unknown.
