List Of East German Deutsche Reichsbahn Locomotives And Railbuses
This article contains a list of locomotives and railbuses of the Deutsche Reichsbahn (East Germany) (DR) according to the numbering system introduced by the DR on 1 July 1970. Following the October 1990 reunification of Germany, the DR's locomotives and railbuses were incorporated (and renumbered) on 1 January 1992 into the classification system of the West German ''Deutsche Bundesbahn'' (DB), originally issued on 1 January 1968, in preparation for the merger of the two German national railways that took place on 1 January 1994. This renumbering was also described as the 'locomotive classification of the Deutsche Bahn' as a number of changes and additions to the DB's 1968 system were needed. Classification before 1970: see also DRG classification system. Steam locomotives In the DR numbering plan the following additional practices were common: *xx.6xxx locomotives, that originated from former private railways. From 1970 the following sub-classes for all steam locomotive ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Prussian P 4
The Prussian P 4 was a derivative of the P 4.1 (Hanover variant) and the second superheated steam locomotive in the world. Design The engine was based on that of the Class P 4.1 that had Hanomag had produced in large numbers since 1892. It had slightly larger wheels and, due to its new design, significantly fewer heating tubes. The superheater and the steam engine were entirely independent designs. Service and preservation In 1898 a one-off was delivered by Hanomag to the Prussian state railways. The economy of the superheated system was soon proven in 1899 by the engine during trial runs from Kassel. Apart from a short stay at Halle the engine was assigned to Kassel as ''Cassel 131'' and, from 1906, as ''P 4 Cassel 1846''. In 1921, after the First World War, the engine was mothballed, along with many other machines of similar class. With its sectioned boiler the P 4 stood for a long time in the Transport and Construction Museums, part of ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
DRG Class 24
The DRG Class 24 steam engines were German standard locomotives ('' Einheitslokomotiven'') built for the Deutsche Reichsbahn between 1928 and 1939 to haul passenger trains. History These engines, nickname the 'prairie horse' (''Steppenpferd'') were developed specially for the long, flat routes in West and East Prussia. 95 examples were built by the firms of Schichau, Linke-Hofmann and others. The two units with operating numbers 24 069 and 24 070 were supplied by Borsig with a medium pressure boiler. These locos ran with a boiler overpressure of , but were rebuilt in 1952. The Deutsche Bundesbahn took over 38 locomotives and retired them by 1966. The last one with the DB was locomotive number 24 067, which was stabled in Rheydt and taken out of service there in August 1966. The engines were given operating numbers 24 001 to 24 095. Engine numbers 24 002, 004, 009, 021 and 030 were left with the DR after the Second World War. They were all stabled in Jerichow shed in 1960 and ...

DR Class 23
The steam locomotives of DR Class 23.10, (from 1 June 1970 Class 35.10) were passenger train engines built for the Deutsche Reichsbahn in East Germany after the Second World War.Is produced in H0 scale to many train model railway. History The Class 23.10 was an evolutionary development by the DR of the DRG Class 23 standard locomotives or '' Einheitsdampflokomotiven'' built earlier by the Deutsche Reichsbahn-Gesellschaft. Only two of the latter were completed due to the onset of the war. The same dimensions were used for the driving and running gear, but the locomotives were given ''IfS/DR'' mixer-preheaters, boilers equipped with combustion chambers and a large driver's cab. The feedwater dome was omitted from locomotives numbered 23 1003 and later. The first of 113 units was deployed in 1955, and they were used for light to medium express train services, being allocated numbers 23 1001–1113. With the introduction of EDP numbering on 1 January 1970, all locomotives were r ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
DRG Class 23
The German Class 23 (''Baureihe 23'' or ''BR 23'') engines of the Deutsche Reichsbahn (''DRG'') were standard ('' Einheitslokomotiven'') steam engines that were conceived as a replacement for the Prussian P 8 by the Schichau Works. They were given the same boiler as the Class 50s which were developed in parallel and, like them, the newly developed 2'2' T 26 tender with its front wall that protected train crews during reverse running. In 1941 the two prototypes were built and delivered. The procurement of 800 locomotives had been planned, however the constraints of the Second World War meant that they never entered full production. After the war the two locomotives, with operating numbers 23 001 and 23 002, went to the DR in East Germany and were variously stabled in Berlin, Brandenburg an der Havel, Jüterbog and Halle. In 1961, number 23 001 was given a '' Reko'' boiler with combustion chamber, developed for the Class 50. In 1970 the locomotive was given EDP number 35 2001 ...

DR Class 22
The steam locomotives of DR Class 22 were reconstructed passenger train locomotives in service with the Deutsche Reichsbahn in East Germany after the Second World War. These engines were rebuilt from DRG Class 39.0-2 locomotives and appeared between 1958 and 1962 as part of the reconstruction programme. The latter had a significant problem: the boiler did not generate enough steam and the steam pipes were too winding, which considerably reduced the maximum power of the engine. A total of 85 examples were equipped with a new combustion-chambered boiler with an ''IfS'' mixer-preheater. The locomotive frame had to be extended to accommodate the new engine. The wider outer firebox meant that the driver's cab needed a modified rear wall. The locomotives were given operating numbers 22 001–085 and were mainly homed in the Reichsbahn divisions of Dresden and Erfurt. The DR employed the locomotives on heavy express train duties in the schedules for the DRG Class 01, which led to ov ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Saxon XX HV
The Saxon Class XX \textstyle \mathfrak\textstyle \mathfrak were German eight-coupled express train, tender locomotives built for the Royal Saxon State Railways (''Königlich Sächsische Staatseisenbahnen'') just after the First World War. The locomotives, which became known as the 'Pride of Saxony' (''Sachsenstolz'') were the first and only German express locomotives with a 2-8-2 wheel arrangement and, at the time of their appearance, were the largest express engines in the whole of Europe. In 1925, the Deutsche Reichsbahn grouped these locomotive into their DRG Class 19.0. History The XX HVs were the last Saxon express train locomotives and were the pinnacle of Saxon locomotive engineering. They were conceived primarily for heavy express train duties on the winding and hilly Dresden to Hof trunk route through the ''Mittelgebirge''. Its design was related to the simultaneously developed 4-6-2 express locomotive Saxon XVIII H, but unlike the latter, it had a fourth coupled axle ...

Baden IV H
The class IV h (four-h) locomotives of the Grand Duchy of Baden State Railway (German: ''Großherzoglich Badische Staatseisenbahnen, G.Bad.St.E.'') were express locomotives with a 4-6-2 (Pacific) wheel arrangement. They later passed to the Deutsche Reichsbahn, who classified them as class 183. Construction features The twenty class IV h locomotives built by Maffei for the Grand Duchy of Baden State Railway were intended to replace the class IV f locomotives, which were overburdened on the Rhine Valley railway line between Basel and Mannheim due to their driving wheels being too small. Accordingly, the IV h with a drive wheel diameter of was designed uncompromisingly as a flatland express train locomotive. Nevertheless, the IV h were initially only approved for for braking reasons. The IV h has a four-cylinder compound engine with divided drive. In contrast to earlier Maffei designs, the inner cylinders are driven on the first coupled wheelset, wh ...

Neubaulok
The German term ''Neubaulokomotive'' () specifically refers to those steam locomotives which were newly designed and built, either for the Deutsche Bundesbahn in West Germany or the Deutsche Reichsbahn in East Germany, after the Second World War. Concept The term ''Neubaulokomotive'' or ''Neubaulok'' was chosen to distinguish these locomotives from the standard steam locomotives built by the pre-war Deutsche Reichsbahn in Germany, the so-called '' Einheitsdampflokomotiven'' or ''Einheitsloks''. The main differences were the welded plate frames instead of bar frames and more powerful boilers with combustion chambers. The locomotives which were newly developed by the Bundesbahn stand out visually from their Reichsbahn and former state railway (''Länderbahnen'') counterparts, particularly because of their shiny, silver-coloured boiler rings. DB locomotives The DB ''Neubauloks'' were: * Class 10 * Class 23 * Class 65 * Class 66 * Class 82 DR locomotives The ''Neubauloks'' of ...

DR 18 201
The German express locomotive, number 18 201 of the Deutsche Reichsbahn in East Germany, appeared in 1960–61 at Meiningen Steam Locomotive Works as a conversion of the Henschel-Wegmann train locomotive 61 002, the tender from 44 468 and parts of H 45 024 and Class 41. It is the fastest operational steam locomotive in the world. Origin The motivation for the conversion was firstly that, as a one-off, locomotive 61 002 could not really be used for scheduled services, and secondly that the research institute at VES-M Halle urgently needed locomotives that could do at least 160 km/h in order to test passenger coaches. For the conversion a DR Class 22 new-design boiler, parts of the unsuccessful high pressure locomotive, H 45 024, (outside cylinders, trailing wheels and rear section of the locomotive frame) as well as the tender of locomotive 44 468 were used. The inside cylinder of the three-cylinder engine was not however taken from 61 002, rather a new one was made. O ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
