The steam locomotive WEBA 4 III (third occupation) was built by the Jung locomotive factory for the Westerwaldbahn . It entered service in 1940 and was the company's largest and most powerful locomotive. After 1955 it was given to the Deutsche Eisenbahn-Gesellschaft , which used it on the Teutoburg Forest Railway and the Farge-Vegesacker Railway . The locomotive was scrapped in 1973.
history
Westerwaldbahn
Since the freight transport services of the Westerwaldbahn had increased sharply before the outbreak of World War II , the company ordered a steam locomotive from Jung that developed a pulling force of 180 kN and trains with a load of 600 t at a speed of 20-25 on the inclines of 25 ‰ should transport km / h. The axle load should not exceed 14.5 t.
Due to its high frictional weight, the locomotive was particularly well suited for operation on the steep ramp to Bindweide . In 1945 it was badly damaged by fighting. It was not repaired until 1947. As a result of the decline in freight traffic on the Westerwaldbahn from the 1950s, the locomotive was no longer needed and was sold to the Deutsche Eisenbahn-Gesellschaft.
German railway company
The Deutsche Eisenbahn-Gesellschaft used the locomotives on the Teutoburg Forest Railway , on which freight traffic had increased after 1945. It was mainly used from Lengerich to Ibbenbüren , Saerbeck and occasionally to Gütersloh North .
During the main repair in 1957, a conversion to oil firing was considered, but was not implemented for reasons of cost. After the arrival of from Maschinenbau Kiel built V 131-133 the locomotive was turned off initially in working order and in 1968 to the Farge-Vegesack railway passed. There she drove military trains until the investigation period expired in 1970, then was parked and scrapped in 1973.
technology
The locomotive was mainly made using riveting technology. The water and coal boxes, the driver's cab and parts of the front circuit were welded. The frame was designed as a sheet metal frame, the individual cheeks were 40 mm thick. The running axle and the adjacent coupling axle were designed as a Krauss-Helmholtz steering frame for good cornering . The second and fourth drive axle was fixed in the frame, the average driving axle had weakened mm by 15 flanges . Curve radii of up to 150 meters could be negotiated. The riveted boiler consisted of two sections and was 1.7 m in diameter. He had a copper fire box and a preheater across the smoke chamber . The air tanks were attached to the back of the coal box.
