BBÖ Class 114

Known as BBÖ 114.01 locomotive was an Austrian express train steam locomotive.

History

Simultaneously with the plans for the twin 214 series originated in the Wiener Neustadt Lokomotivfabrik the draft Drilling locomotive. In order to compare the two designs, it was decided each to manufacture a prototype. The 114.01 was in Wiener Neustadt locomotive factory and was delivered in 1929.

In general, the advantage of Drilling machines located in the lower torque and better balance of the rotating masses, which means less wear. The disadvantage is higher fuel consumption is a result of the triple steam paths. Thus, a higher 9% coal consumption was observed even at the 114.01 compared to 214.01. The poorer accessibility of the inner engine and the worse maintainability related organized, in collaboration with the better performance of 214.01 in comparison drives to the fact that the 214er went into series production. The 114.01 remained as a single piece with the BBÖ in use. As a visible difference to the 214ern are visible parts of the unusual valve control system Marshall to call with rotating camshaft.

The German Reichsbahn she drew in 1938 to 12 101.

The 114.01 was used in circulation plan of the 214er and could, among other things the first Arlberg -Orient- Express after the Second World War lead. In 1948 she was rebuilt because of the prevailing lack of coal to oil firing. On 6 August 1949, the middle cylinder of the engine broke. The locomotive was postponed because of the irreparable damage and split in 1953.
