Württemberg T

The title of this article is ambiguous. It deals with the newly acquired locomotives of the Württemberg class T. Previously converted locomotives, which were also assigned to the class T, are described in the article Württemberg E old .

The T-class of the Royal Württemberg State Railways (KWSt.E) were shunting tender locomotives with two coupled axles . It comprised seven converted class E locomotives with tender , as well as ten locomotives newly built by the Maschinenbau-Gesellschaft Heilbronn (MGH). These were the only steam locomotives designed in Heilbronn for the Württemberg State Railways. The first of these was designated the T 1000 in 1896 . From 1898 it became the T 1001 . The machines subsequently procured by Heilbronn were given by KWSt.E. consecutively the numbers T 1002 to T 1010 . The T 1003 was still taken over by the Deutsche Reichsbahn as 88 7401 . With a length of 6.38 m it was the smallest locomotive in the inventory of the Deutsche Reichsbahn. In earlier literature the incorrect designation Württembergische T 2 was occasionally used.

history

The Maschinenbau-Gesellschaft Heilbronn mainly built field and industrial railway locomotives. They were largely based on a unified construction with standardized parts that were built in gauges from 600 mm to standard gauge . The usual design was a two-axle wet steam locomotive. They were offered as Type I to Type VII. The Type V, which was first sold to Hibernia AG in 1876 ​​with a 1,435 mm gauge , became the Class T. It was procured as an inexpensive locomotive for shunting tasks. The older locomotives that had been converted for this purpose turned out to be unsuitable.

The first three locomotives were practically the same as the type V. From the T 1004 onwards, several steps were taken to modify the locomotives according to the wishes of the state railways. The most striking deviation was the higher frame, which was installed from the T 1005 locomotive. The storage tank for water installed in it was enlarged so that the locomotives built later had more range and did not have to hold water as often.

For the Württembergische T, only their assignment in the inventory at the machine inspections are known, but mostly not the station where they performed their shunting services for the Württembergische Staatsbahn.

T 1000 / T 1001

The locomotive was delivered on September 7, 1896 with the serial number 325 and was called T 1000 until March 31, 1898, after which it became the T 1001. Regularly on April 1, KWSt.E. a fiscal year. After this deadline, a new inventory was created in which the changes were incorporated. The locomotive was mainly used in the Rottweil area. It was likely retired between 1912 and 1914. It came to an early end because of its simpler technical structure compared to the class T locomotives built later. For example, it had no facility for train heating. It also had no axle bearing adjustment wedges, which made maintenance difficult.

M 1002

On March 18, 1899, the locomotive with the serial number 332 came to KWSt.E. She was assigned to the machine inspection in Ulm. In 1917 the T 1002 was sold to the Heinrich Sohnius company in Saarbrücken. The last known evidence of their existence there is an order for their general inspection in 1939 to the MGH.

M 1003

It was delivered on May 10, 1899. Your factory number is 349. The KWSt.E. and then the Deutsche Reichsbahn used it in Friedrichshafen. It was the only machine that was redrawn as 88 7401. In 1928 it was taken out of service, a subsequent sale is not known, in the specialist literature it is assumed that the locomotive was scrapped a year or two later.

M 1004

Delivered in 1899 with the serial number 373, it was registered with the machine inspection in Ulm. In 1917 it was sold to the Wittmann steelworks in Haspe, Westphalia.

M 1005

The locomotive was delivered to KWSt.E on December 13, 1899 with the serial number 374. In the first few years of operation she was assigned to the machine inspection in Ulm. In 1912 it was verified by the machine inspection in Stuttgart, and in 1914 by the machine inspection in Tübingen. On October 23, 1921, the Fürstlich Hohenzollerische Hüttenwerk Laucherthal bought the locomotive. The locomotive was not taken out of service there until the mid-1970s. It was the last Württemberg regional railroad locomotive to quit its service. On September 3, 1977, she moved to the Darmstadt-Kranichstein Railway Museum .

The machine was heated up and driven at events. On September 3, 1979, she moved to the German Steam Locomotive Museum in Neuenmarkt . Until the boiler deadline expired in April 1981, it was occasionally under steam there too. Afterwards, efforts were made in vain to extend the boiler deadline and ultimately the machine was handed over to the Museum of Transport and Technology in Berlin, which picked it up on October 29, 1986. It is one of the oldest surviving standard-gauge steam locomotives.

M 1006

It was delivered on February 24, 1900 with the serial number 375. In 1901, it was verified by the Stuttgart machine inspection. It was probably sold in 1917 to Weyland & Hoever (building and civil engineering) in Düsseldorf . In 1922 she came to Albatros Gesellschaft für Flugzeugunternehmungen mbH in Schneidemühl .

M 1007

On May 31, 1904, the locomotive was sold to the KWSt.E. delivered with the serial number 446. She was assigned to the machine inspections in Stuttgart. On January 2, 1917, it was sold to a glassworks near Aachen. The locomotive was probably scrapped when the glass factory closed at the end of the 1920s, as no further sale was known.

M 1008

Delivered on May 31, 1904 with the serial number 447 to KWSt.E., it was based in Stuttgart. A photo from 1908 documents their use at the Stuttgart-Gaisburg gasworks . It was sold there in 1910. In January 1932 it was replaced by a Württemberg T 3 , which the gasworks had now bought from the Deutsche Reichsbahn , and scrapped in the same year.

M 1009

On August 22, 1904, the machine with the serial number 448 came to KWSt.E, which assigned it to the Ulm Machine Inspection. In 1917 it was sold to the Benz works in Gaggenau . She served there until March 1960. Then it was scrapped.

T 1010

The locomotive was delivered to KWSt.E on October 10, 1904. Its serial number was 449. It was used at the Heilbronn machine inspection. The metal recycling company Moses Stern AG in Gelsenkirchen-Bismarck, which later became part of Hoesch AG , bought the locomotive in 1917. It is not known that it was scrapped.

Errors in previous specialist literature

1. ↑ The following is entered in the DR tracing plan from 1925: Old designation: Württ 1000 New number: 88 7401 Year of construction: 1898 Serial number 340 Manufacturer: Heilbronn According to the MGH delivery list, this information is incorrect, but has occasionally appeared in specialist literature.
2. ↑ Occasionally the technical literature ascribes the T 1006 to a use in the Nürtingen cement works. In fact, however, it is a two-axle tank locomotive from Borsig, which was called "HILDE" and was similar to the Württembergische T. It was scrapped in the mid-1960s.
3. ↑ A MGH type V locomotive with the serial number 230 was in operation in the Kochendorf salt works. This is sometimes confused with the T 1008. The type "V" is the original design of the Württemberg T, which can explain this confusion.
4. ↑ Since the T 1009 received a general inspection at the Esslingen machine factory in 1954 and there are photographs of the indexing drive, it was occasionally written in the specialist literature that a Württemberg T in Esslingen was used as a locomotive.
