The T 13 of the Hagans design were tank locomotives of the Prussian State Railways for freight train service. To improve cornering, they had a Hagans type engine . The Baden State Railways acquired locomotives of the same design as class VIII d .
history
The design of the locomotives corresponded to the class T 15 (type Hagans) , shortened by a coupling axle. They were intended in particular for freight train service on the sloping and winding low mountain range routes, where the larger T 15 would have been uneconomical. To achieve good cornering ability, they had a split frame. The two front drive axles were located in the main frame, while the two rear axles were mounted in a rotatable frame. The power transmission took place via a special lever construction that had been developed by the Christian Hagans machine factory .
Between 1899 and 1902, Henschel in Kassel supplied a total of 29 locomotives to the Prussian State Railways, which were based in the Erfurt, Saarbrücken, Magdeburg and Frankfurt am Main departments. The Breslau Headquarters housed its locomotives in Hirschberg and Dittersbach, where they were in service on the Silesian Mountain Railway and its branch lines. The Erfurt locomotives came to Arnstadt, Probstzella and Suhl, where they were used on the steep ramps in the Thuringian Forest. The Magdeburg directorate stationed its locomotives in Goslar, the Frankfurt directorate in Fulda.
However, the complicated design proved to be prone to failure and maintenance-intensive, so that later no further locomotives of this type were procured. The retirement, which was completed in the early 1920s, began early. The second redesignation plan of the Deutsche Reichsbahn from 1923 still contained five locomotives as 92 501 to 92 505, in fact none was redrawn in 1925.
