HK 94–100
The HK 94-100 are four-axle Malletlokomotiven with 1000 mm track gauge.
History
The Maschinenbau-Gesellschaft Karlsruhe built in 1918 seven Malletlokomotiven for use on railways operated by the Army, as the already confiscated locomotives were not sufficient. Here, the speed fell back due to older designs. The locomotives were removed from the Heeresprüfkommission for light railways (HK) and referred to as HK 94 to 100. However, the locomotives came for the end of war no longer used and have been to various private railways, partially discharged as a substitute for confiscated during the war locomotives. The HK 94 and 95 came to the little train hasp - Voerde - Breckerfeld (HVB ), of which HK 95 1921/1922 to Euskirchener circular orbits (EKB ), changed to HK 96 Nordhausen - Wernigerode Railway Company ( NWE ), the HK 97 to 99 went to the AG Ruhr -Lippe railways ( RLE ) and the HK 100 for Albtalbahn. They were, in the 1950s, retired in the early 1960s except for two, the end.
Locomotives received
The locomotive 28 in train hasp - Voerde - Breckerfeld (HVB ) from hasp had been sold in 1928 after the conversion of the web to electric operation at the Süddeutsche Eisenbahn-Gesellschaft (SEG ) for the railway line cell in the meadow valley - Todtnau and was given the number 105 from there they came in 1968 to the Blonay -Chamby (BC ) in Switzerland, where it is operative in the early years of the museum train and then again from 1998 in use.
To complement the Malletlokomotiven 11 to 22 in 1920 was procured from the Nordhausen - Wernigerode Railway Company the new 41II. From the Deutsche Reichsbahn (DR ) she was given the number 99 5906th The locomotive has outwardly very great similarities with the other Malletmaschinen, but the other cab falls on. The locomotive is operational and is used by the Harz narrow gauge railways usually on the Selketalbahn ahead of schedule trains.
Construction
The rear engine with the high-pressure cylinder is fixedly mounted in the sheet metal frame. The front engine with the low-pressure cylinder is connected to a king pin to the rear engine, the riveted boiler is with sliding plates on him. Lateral leaf springs keep the engine in a central position. Both engines have an internal frame.
The steam is directed only to the rear cylinders, from there it passes through flexible lines to the front cylinder. All cylinders are equipped with flat slide and outer Heusinger control with hanging iron and Kuhn shear loop.
The locomotives have a throw -lever hand brake and a vapor retarder as an auxiliary brake. Depending on the train later suction or compressed air brakes were upgraded as a drag brake.
On the boiler there are two sand domes, one for each engine.
