E 3/3 is the name of a versatile steam locomotive , also called Tigerli , of the Swiss Federal Railways (SBB) with three drive axles and no running axles. They were produced by SLM in Winterthur for the Swiss Central Railway (SCB) as early as 1896 . The Jura-Simplon Railway (JS) also relied on the same construction . The SBB ordered 83 vehicles of this series. Until the 1960s, they were in regular service - mainly shunting.
The letter "E" designates standard-gauge shunting locomotives on Swiss Railways .
When the SBB was founded, E 3/3 locomotives were taken over from the predecessor railways
In 1902, the SBB took over a total of 66 E 3/3 shunting steam locomotives from their predecessor trains, 3 of which were from the VSB (classified as No. 8395-8397 ), 36 from the SCB (No. 8398, 8399 , 8401-8425, 8581 -8589 ), 16 from JS (No. 8431-8440, 8571-8576) and 11 from NOB (No. 8551-8559, 8661, 8662 ).
A total of 59 of these locomotives were built by SLM in Winterthur. The position of the water tank under the long tank , between the drive wheels, is typical of these machines . The side stems on the driver's cab, left and right of the fire box , are also not water boxes, but material cupboards in which tools and fire hoses (for taking water from hydrants) etc. can be stored, but also on some of the locomotives (left on the heater side) additional charcoal boxes. Identical locomotives were also delivered to other Swiss private railways, in particular to the Sihltalbahn and the Oensingen-Balsthal-Bahn , where some of them have remained operational to this day (90 85 000 8 562-0 and 90 85 000 8 565-3 and 90 85 000 8 542-2) and also the locomotive No. 401 (90 85 000 8 541-4) delivered to the Uerikon-Bauma-Bahn is in service again at the DVZO .
35 locomotives (No. 8401–8425 and 8431–8440) were already of the Tigerli type .
Most of the locomotives were scrapped in the first half of the last century. 5 locomotives from the series 8401-8425 (type Tigerli of the SCB) were sold to the Dutch Railways in 1945 (see NS 7800 ) and 5 locomotives from the series 8431-8440 (type Tigerli of the JS) were sold to the Norges Statsbaner , where they were classified as sub-series 25e . Other locomotives continued to be used by Werkbahnen and have been partially preserved in this way to this day.

Steam locomotives of the SBB type E 3/3 type Tigerli
The stock of the E 3/3 taken over from the predecessor railways was not sufficient and so the still young SBB immediately had to procure more locomotives in order to gradually equip all stations, larger stations and connection systems with a powerful shunting machine. So far, former mainline locomotives had been used for this purpose, but they were nowhere near as manoeuvrable.
Starting from the last shunting locomotives built for the SCB and JS (series 8401-8425 and 8431-8440), a further 83 locomotives were built from 1902 (classified as no. 8451-8533). By reducing the number of boiler tubes, the heating surface from No. 8459 was slightly reduced. From No. 8471 onwards, the service weight was increased by 1.4 t through a stronger frame and the installation of the Westinghouse brake; from No. 8480 onwards, the rear boiler overhang was removed with an increase in the wheelbase from 3120 to 3320 mm and the driver's cab slightly lengthened. From no. 8486 onwards, there was a front platform with foot steps, grip and handrail bars for the shunting personnel. Nos. 8471-8481, 8494, 8495, 8511-8518, 8526, 8528 and 8529 were provided with Westinghouse brakes that act on the drive wheels, Nos. 8519-8523 also had a device for the regulating brake .
The numbers 8459, 8460, 8471-8481, 8488-8495, 8503-8505, 8513, 8524, 8525, 8528, 8529 were equipped with a Hasler-type speedometer (7 pieces to Klose) and were qualified for service on the route, where they were allowed to travel at 50 km / h.
In view of the lack of coal during the Second World War , in 1942/1943 the locomotives no. 8521 and 8522 were equipped with an electric boiler heater fed from the overhead line and pantographs on the driver's cab. The electrical equipment came from Brown, Boveri & Cie. Baden (BBC) and was installed by SBB-Werkstätte Yverdon on January 13, 1943 in No. 8521 and on February 11, 1943 in No. 8522. No. 8521 kept the equipment until July 1951, and No. 8522 was expanded on April 24, 1953. The construction of an electric steam locomotive was no longer pursued. The locomotive No. 8522 is now in pure steam operation on the Sursee-Triengen-Bahn .

Tigerli steam locomotives that never belonged to the SBB
The SLM also supplied Tigerli locomotives to factory and private railways in Switzerland. In particular, the Gürbetalbahn (GTB), which opened in 1901, bought 4 Tigerli, which they used as mainline locomotives and therefore designated them as Ed 3/3. These locomotives were accordingly also equipped with Hasler-type speedometers and had no shunting platforms.
Still preserved Tigerli steam locomotives from other railways
Consequently, the locomotives that remained in Switzerland were also assigned to the number ranges 84xx and 85xx in the Swiss railway vehicle register.

Type E 3/3 locomotives taken over by the SBB after 1902
Further E 3 /3s came into the portfolio in 1909 through the nationalization of the Gotthard Railway (No. 8561) and in 1918 through the nationalization of the Tösstal Railway (No. 8384). In addition, the two steam locomotives of the Kriens-Luzern-Bahn (No. 8651, 8652) were taken over in 1926 when they switched to electric train transport (see list of locomotives and railcars of the SBB ). None of these locomotives were of the Tigerli type .
The only thing that has been preserved is the former KLB No. 1 (90 85 000 8 651-1), which is now used on the Oensingen-Balsthal Railway for nostalgic trips.
