The vehicles of the Prussian T 36 were steam locomotives of the Upper Silesian Narrow Gauge Railways .
history
The Upper Silesian Narrow Gauge Railway procured four locomotives from the Christian Hagans machine factory in Erfurt between 1897 and 1901 . After the lines were taken over by the Prussian State Railways in 1904, these locomotives were classified as T 36s from 1911 . A locomotive, the Kattowitz 8, from 1911: Kattowitz 105, came via the Rosenberger Kreisbahn with 750 mm gauge (from 1922 as No. 5) and the Stavenhagen sugar factory in 1945 to the Demminer Kreisbahn-West (No. 265). For this purpose, it was converted from 785 millimeters to 750 millimeters gauge in 1922. In 1949 it received the DR number 99 4621. Later it came to Rügen , where it remained until 1965. This locomotive was scrapped there in 1966.
technical features
These vehicles had a special design feature because they were equipped with a rotating drive axle frame. That is why they were also referred to as rocker arm machines . The first three coupling axles were firmly mounted in an inner frame. A Bissel frame with two further driving axles was located under the driver's cab . They were driven by a rocker arm. The locomotives had Heusinger controls . The supplies were housed next to the boiler , a coal box was also behind the driver's cab. After a boiler replacement in the 1950s, locomotive 99 4621 had a steam dome with a frustoconical end. The driver's cab was also renewed and fitted with glass windows and roof vent.
During the re-gauging, the rocker arm drive was removed and the two rear coupling axles were replaced by normal running axles .
