The Windhoff L 110 , LW 110 , L 170 and LW 170 were small shunting locomotives for factory and private railways built in the 1920s .
history
Even before Windhoff was significantly involved in the development and construction of small locomotives of performance group I for the Deutsche Reichsbahn-Gesellschaft (DRG) in cooperation with the Reichsbahn-Zentralamt für Maschinenbau (RZM) in Berlin from the beginning of the 1930s , the company built in In the 1920s, almost three dozen locomotives with internal combustion engines for works and private railways in standard gauge. There were individual deliveries to Denmark, Sweden and Hungary. Early machines got a benzene engine.
At least one other identical benzene locomotive was delivered to the PEN power plant in Velsen (Netherlands) in 1931 as the LV 170 III .
construction
The type designation consists of an L for locomotive and, if necessary, an additional W for deliveries with an optionally available cable winch . This was housed in the tender-like annex behind the driver's cab. With it, shunting operations could be carried out and wagon turntables operated in the case of cramped space conditions on works railways .
Windhoff was also a possible supplier for all components in this context. In addition to the containers for winch and sand, the visual similarity to a tank locomotive had no functional necessity. Most of the porch was empty.
The mechanical three-stage gearbox, the clutch and the motor came from our own production. For the first time, a four-cylinder engine was installed in a locomotive by Windhoff. The numerical information in the type designation indicates the bore diameter of the cylinder. The piston stroke was 175 mm. The design made it possible, in contrast to older designs, to control any speed within the permissible range. For the smaller L 110, a nominal output of 52 hp at a maximum engine speed of 1200 rpm is specified, the larger L 170 developed around 100 hp. The machines had the ability to sand all the wheels. The Bosch company supplied the electric starter, lighting and signal .
For the one- offs later supplied as LV 170 III , the V in the type designation denotes a carburettor engine and the Roman numeral denotes the number of gears.
Use and whereabouts
The last LW 110 in operation included the factory number 123, which is said to have been in use at the Rheinisch-Westfälische Kalkwerke in Stromberg in the Hunsrück until the 1970s, and an L 110 with the factory number 139, which was produced in 1954 by Stadtwerke Elmshorn the Deutsche Eisenbahn-Betriebsgesellschaft (DEBG) was sold, then as V 21.01 drove on the Vorwohle-Emmerthaler Eisenbahn-Gesellschaft and ended its service time - now with a swap engine - in October 1966 with the local railway Rhein-Ettenheimmünster .
No locomotive of the smaller design has survived in Germany, but both LW 110s delivered to Svenska Sockerfabriks AB in Sweden . After their active time, they were given to various museum railways, one of which went on to a private collector in Billeshom in January 2017 .
Of the only half a dozen L 170 and LW 170 built , one locomotive has been preserved at the Bavarian Railway Museum in Nördlingen . It was in continuous service for the timber and coal yard of the municipal building construction authority in Munich, was badly damaged in the war and only rebuilt ten years later.
