The KHD A6M 220 R type C was a three-axle diesel locomotive with rod drive that was designed for shunting service. Six locomotives are known that were produced by KHD between 1936 and 1939 .
A locomotive that was delivered to the Reichswerke Hermann Göring in Linz in 1939 is now in a converted form as a diesel-electric ÖBB 2066 in the Strasshof Railway Museum .
development
The locomotives were one of the first locomotives of the AM series designed in 1935 by the manufacturer KHD to be equipped with engines of the series of the same name and were offered with a power range of up to 320 hp. For the designation KHD A6M 220 R : A means an upright four-stroke engine in a row arrangement, 6 the number of cylinders, M the type of cooling of the engine with water cooling, 2 the design of the engine, 20 the piston stroke in cm.
The locomotives were built primarily for military purposes and for shunting tasks in larger companies. Got it
- the high command of the army two locomotives, as well
- the airport construction in Berlin
- the German explosive chemicals and
- the Reichswerke Hermann Göring in Linz one locomotive each.
A locomotive was delivered to the Netherlands .
technology
Compared to the KHD A6M 220 R type B locomotives , some of which had an overdrive for speeds of up to 60 km / h, the C wheel arrangement locomotives were designed as shunting locomotives. The axle arrangement with the external jackshaft only allowed low speeds.
The drive system consisted of a high-speed six-cylinder four-stroke diesel engine, which gave its power to a mechanical transmission via a multi-plate clutch . The original design 2 engine with 150 hp was later replaced by a design 4 engine with 165 hp.

Schleswig district railway V 31
The locomotive with the serial number 15391 was manufactured by KHD for Deutsche Sprengchemie in 1936 . The locomotive was used in Moschwig . In the 1940s it was operated with a gas generator . In 1947 the diesel-powered locomotive was returned to a mining company in Giessen . The locomotive may have received the new engine.
In 1950 the locomotive was the first diesel locomotive to come to Schleswig-Holstein . The machine, nicknamed Hackepeter , was used for shunting work and handover trips in Schleswig train station . By 1957 she had covered around 24,500 kilometers.
Due to the constantly growing requirements, the machine was no longer suitable for its tasks from 1960. Since major repairs were pending, the locomotive should be sold or taken out of service. In 1961 it was scrapped.
