It was not until 1915 that Johann Rihosek, Karl Gölsdorf's assistant, worked out the design of the superheated steam two-cylinder locomotive. The Bohemian-Moravian Machine Factory ('' Böhmisch-Mährische Maschinenfabrik'', BMMF) took over the construction work. As was customary in Austria, the superheater surface area was rather small, as it was feared, rightly, that the domestic lubricating oil would not be able to withstand higher temperatures. The pulling power of the 270s was considerably higher than that of the 170s: it could pull at . The two steam domes with connecting pipes from the 170s were replaced by a simple steam dome and two sand do ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Floridsdorf Locomotives
Floridsdorf (; Central Bavarian: ''Fluridsduaf'') is the 21st district of Vienna (german: 21. Bezirk, Floridsdorf), located in the northern part of the city and comprising seven formerly independent communities: Floridsdorf, Donaufeld, Greater Jedlersdorf, Jedlesee, Leopoldau, Stammersdorf, and Strebersdorf. History Prehistory Settlements were already present during the New Stone Age (4000 to 2000 BC). Stone axes and potsherds unearthed from that time indicate that the first settlers in the area were hunters. In the vicinity of Leopoldau, bronze weapons and jewelry provide evidence of subsequent settlement. Several of these items are now in the District Museum.
