The steam locomotives WEG 1s to 3s were meter - gauge, three - axle tank locomotives that were built by Borsig for the Württembergische Eisenbahn-Gesellschaft and were used on the Amstetten – Laichingen line. The locomotives were in use on the line until 1956. The WEG 2s is now at the Ulm Railway Society after 25 years as plinthed for operative work-up for the museum traffic between Amstetten and Oppingen provided.
History and commitment
prehistory
In 1899, the Württembergische Eisenbahn-Gesellschaft ordered four triple-coupled locomotives from Borsig for its two meter- gauge routes, Amstetten – Laichingen and Gaildorf – Untergröningen .
Since the WEG decided when the locomotives were being built to run their route to Untergröningen in standard gauge , they only took over three locomotives for the route to Laichingen. The fourth locomotive ordered was taken over by the Königlich Württembergische Staats-Eisenbahnen , which urgently needed locomotives for its Nagold – Altensteig route and was named KWSt.E. Ts3 began. The locomotive was in operation until 1928.
Amstetten – Laichingen railway line
The locomotives for the WEG were named WEG 1s to 3s and carried out passenger and freight train services. To do this, they were equipped with a Westinghouse brake , and the trolleys were connected with a coupling rod to move the freight trains .
From 1956 they were replaced by railcars. The locomotives 1s and 3s were dismantled, whereby a snow plow was built from the chassis of the 3s , the locomotive 2s remained. Originally an installation in the local history museum in Laichingen was planned, which could not be realized due to the dimensions. Therefore it was erected as a memorial in Laichingen from 1964. She stood there for about 13 years. Since her condition was constantly deteriorating, she was handed over to the Marxzell Vehicle Museum in 1977 , where she could not be sheltered from the weather. In 2002 it was transferred to Amstetten with the aim of rebuilding it as a rollable showpiece (2020).
construction
Features of the locomotives were:
- riveted sheet metal frame with water tank in the front area,
- Running gear without compensation with suspension springs above the axle bearings on the first two axles and below the axle bearings on the drive axle,
- riveted long boiler made of two sections with a distance of 2.9 m between the pipe walls, on the first boiler section sat the bell and the rectangular sandpit, on the second boiler section the steam dome,
- rectangular fire box with strongly sloping grate between the frame cheeks,
- Two-cylinder wet steam engine with external horizontally arranged cylinders with Allan control and flat slide valve ,
- single-stage air pump in front of the circulation and one air tank in front of the water tanks on the side,
- Lateral coal box in front of the left half of the driver's cab on the water tank.
