List of Württemberg locomotives and railbuses
This list shows the locomotives and railcars Royal Württemberg State Railways are listed.
- 2.7.1 1000 mm gauge
- 2.7.2 750 mm gauge
Name of locomotives
The Württemberg State Railways has divided starting from 1845 onwards their locomotives into classes. The first division was continually sourcing the individual vehicles in Classes I to VII
This scheme proved to be impractical in use, so that in 1858 a new system was introduced.
- A - Light Quick and Eilzuglokomotiven
- B - Severe Quick and Eilzuglokomotiven
- C - Light passenger locomotives
- D - Heavy passenger locomotives
- E - Easy freight locomotives
- F - heavy freight locomotives
- T - Tender locomotives
In some cases, the previous classes to easily recorded. In other cases, new buildings and conversions in a class were summarized in spite of different designs. Over time, the shortcomings of the system showed. In particular, the division into "light" and "heavy" locomotives was unhappy. In addition, the classes were no longer sufficient for new locomotives. Therefore, the schema has changed slightly from 1892. Available due to phase-out classes were re- occupied.
- A to E - passenger locomotives
- F to K - freight locomotives
- T - Tender locomotives
Each class was divided again using lowercase letters to represent individual designs to enable certain features and Arabic numerals.
- A - older locomotives
- Aa - very old mature withdrawal,
- C - compound ( compound drive )
- D - duplex ( double engine = Mallet )
- H - steam locomotive
- N - branch line locomotive
- Z - rack locomotive
- S - 1000 mm narrow gauge track
- Ss - narrow gauge locomotive 750 mm gauge
Furthermore, some specific names were not introduced as KL for small locomotives, DW for steam railcars BW for petrol railcars and AW for Akkumulatortriebwagen.
Name received the Württemberg locomotives until 1896. Acted as eponym usually geographical names (cities, rivers). In many cases, the locomotives were given names from the environment of the application. In a Umbeheimatung the name was then changed so much.
In addition to the name of the locomotives were also given numbers. Until 1890, numbered consecutively up to 377 as of this date newly purchased locomotives each class received a special group of numbers, usually a hundred numbers starting with 401 assigned.
During reconstruction, the locomotives were classified into a new class, but kept their operation number.
Steam locomotives
Locomotives of the start time for all types of train
These locomotives were mostly rebuilt 1867-1893. None of the locomotives was more redrawn to an operating point of the Deutsche Reichsbahn.
Passenger and express train locomotives
Freight locomotives
Tender locomotives
Zahnradlokomotiven
The gear Württemberg locomotives were built for the routes Honau Lichtenstein and Freudenstadt monastery Reichenbach.
Rebuilding locomotives
The Royal Württemberg State Railways built to a much greater extent than other German State Railways older locomotives in order to make them even more use can. This remodeling activity can be divided into two periods divided: the first, from 1867 to 1887 ending period of reorganization under the generic machine masters Brockmann and Great 2'B older locomotives were rebuilt in steifachsige 1B machines and tank locomotives of various axis sequences. The generic machine masters Adolf Klose and Eugen Kittel the last existing 2'B locomotives were in the second conversion period 1887-1910 continue converted to tender locomotives and older 1B and C types, that had already emerged in part even by remodeling, the newer locomotive types adapted in appearance and performance.
First conversion period 1867-1887
Second conversion period 1887-1910
Narrow gauge locomotives
1000 mm gauge
The built meter gauge Württemberg narrow gauge locomotives were intended for the route Nagold - old trail.
750 mm gauge
The built for 750 mm gauge narrow gauge locomotives Württemberg were procured for the following routes:
- Marbach - Beilstein -Heilbronn
- Lauffen - Güglingen - Leonbronn
- Schussenried - Buchau - Riedlingen
- Biberach - Warthausen - Ochsenhausen
