The locomotives of type XII 2 (also known as the Saxon Rollwagen ) of the Saxon State Railways were built by Hartmann between 1910 and 1927 in Chemnitz specifically for the hilly terrain of Saxony . This passenger locomotive was designed at the same time with the express train types X H1 and XII H1 . 159 examples of this powerful locomotive had been built by 1922. (169 in total)
After the First World War, there were still 124 vehicles (25 were lost during the war or had to be given as reparations ), which the Deutsche Reichsbahn took over as class 38.2–3 with road numbers 38 201 to 38 324. In 1927 ten copies were made, which were given road numbers 38 325 to 38 334.
In the course of the Second World War , 15 of the XII H2 sold to France returned to Germany and were once again based at the RBD Dresden. However, from 1938 onwards, a larger part of the RBD Dresden locomotive fleet was used by railway depots in the Sudetenland . As a result, only about half of the old stock of trolleys remained in Germany after the Second World War. The 38 271 came into the inventory of the Deutsche Bundesbahn via Hungary . Five locomotives returned from France remained in service longer after the war and were given the operating numbers 38 204 and 38 351 to 38 354 on the Deutsche Reichsbahn in the 1950s. The last examples of the BR 38.2 were parked until 1971.
The preserved museum locomotive 38 205 is no longer operational. The locomotive is owned by the DB Museum in Nuremberg and is on loan from the Saxon Railway Museum in Chemnitz-Hilbersdorf .
The first 15 vehicles had initially Schlepptender the type sa 2'2 'T16, but they were later, as all the following machines with larger Tender respondents to type sa 2'2' T21 coupled.
Use in France
After the end of the First World War, 25 locomotives of this series were brought to France as reparations, where the state railway Chemins de fer de l'État (ETAT) used them on its network west of Paris . They were given road numbers 230-960 to 230-984. In addition to their drive wheel diameter, which was unusually small for a 230 in France, the 230-965 to 230-984 built in 1917/18 also stood out due to the high circulation and the low apron. The 230-960 to 230-963 built in 1910/11 corresponded more to the “classic” image; the 230-964, built in 1916, was a hybrid with a boiler and driver's cab of the more modern design, but still low circulation.
After the SNCF was founded in 1938, the machines were designated as 230 E 960–984 and classified as the 230 E series. In the same year ten of the machines (961–963, 968–70, 972, 974, 979 and 983) were parked in good condition. The SNCF intended to relocate locomotives 364 to 384 to their Est region, but this prevented the outbreak of World War II. In 1942 the usable 230 E were brought back to Germany.
Use in Czechoslovakia
After the Sudetenland was annexed to Germany, the Reichsbahndirektion Dresden housed some of the locomotives in the local railway depots Böhmisch Leipa , Bodenbach , Aussig , Brüx and Komotau . Later the stock was concentrated in Bodenbach and Komotau. They were mainly used for passenger and express trains on the Bodenbach – Lobositz (Děčín – Lovosice), Aussig – Komotau (Ústí nad Labem – Chomutov) and Komotau – Eger (Chomutov – Cheb) routes .
After the Second World War, 61 locomotives remained on the territory of Czechoslovakia, ten of which were added to the inventory of the Czechoslovak State Railways (ČSD). They were still used as series 365.5 in the passenger train service between Ústí nad Labem and Chomutov. In exceptional cases, they were also used in front of the express trains to Cheb. Here, too, it had a reputation among the staff as an undemanding, easy to maintain, yet powerful locomotive, and it was popular with the locomotive staff. They were shut down after 1955 for maintenance reasons, and the last two machines were retired in 1959.
Homes
From 1967 to 1969/70 the locomotives 38 268, 38 269, 38 288, 38 325, 38 353 were at home in the Ketzin depot and were then scrapped there.
