Bavarian E I

In the EI of the Royal Bavarian State Railways four different types of wet steam freight train locomotive wheel arrangement 1'D were summarized.

Normal type, older version

The first series of EI was produced in 12 copies by Krauss. The cylinders were prior to the barrel axis and drove to the first coupled axle. Running and driving axle were summarized in a Kraus- Helmholtz bogie. In addition, the external Heusingsteuerung with very short rods was limited to Bavaria variant.

The vehicles were a Tender bay the type 2'2 ' T 18 equipped. Later, she received the Tender of the type 3 T 12.3 of the Bavarian B XI.

Type Sondermann

The second series of the EI of the Royal Bavarian State Railroad was built as a design type special man from 1896. You ever had two nested cylinders which had a common double slide. The barrel axis and the first driving axle were in a Krauss- Helmholtz bogie. The advantage of this locomotive was, that was quite short, the double cylinder due to the tandem structure. However, the engine does not proven particularly, so that the two locomotives were retrofitted to vehicles with two conventional cylinders.

Normal type newer version

The third series of the EI of the Royal Bavarian State Railways presented the final form of this series dar. A total of 48 vehicles were produced and 42 of the railroad with the numbers 56 312 - 56 353 over. They resembled the vehicles of the type Sondermann after reconstruction. At a speed of 50 km / h, the locomotives could pull a train of 820 tons. With a 1,390 -ton train, they reached even 40 km / h On a line with slope 0.5 % they reached with a 845 -ton train or 25 km / h

Type Vauclain

The built by Baldwin vehicles of the genus EI of the Royal Bavarian State Railways were tentatively imported from the U.S. steam freight locomotives.

The two machines were the first in Germany a bar frame, which had been practically in the United States from the beginning and usually evolved from the wooden beams frame the early locomotives has.

As both a year later also imported from Baldwin steam locomotives of the genus S 2/ 5, the locomotives were equipped with a four-cylinder compound engine of the type Vauclain, in which each a high and low pressure cylinders were placed directly over each other and worked on a common drive rod. This engine design did not sit down in Bavaria, unlike the bar frame, but by.

The locomotives were equipped with a Tender of type 2'2 'T 18.1.
