Kittel Dampftriebwagen N XL L M4

In the early 1900s, several state and private railways attempted to reduce operating costs by using steam railcars on lightly used routes. The design of one of the most successful types was penned by Eugen Kittel. At one end of the vehicle was the standing boiler integrated into the driver's cab, the equipment required to operate it, the coal box and a seat for the conductor. A stoker with control authorization was allowed to drive the steam railcar. At this time, the conductor was in the more…

Kleindiesel N XL L M4

small diesel locomotive engine for narrow gauge railways, similar to Deutz engines

KLV53 Rottenkraftwagen N XL L M4

The Deutsche Bundesbahn DB commissioned the rail vehicle manufacturer Schöma with the further development of the Klv 50 and Klv 51 motor vehicles. The core requirement was the creation of an enlarged driver's cab as a lounge for the workers. In addition to Schöma, five other manufacturers took over the series production of a total of 824 units, which started in 1963. The three air-cooled Deutz engines delivered 77 (petrol engine), 116 and 150 hp (both diesel) and accelerated the two-axle more…

Kö I (Deutz A4L514) N XL L M4

The history of the small locomotives in the Kö I family goes back to 1933. To move fewer wagons or to operate smaller works connections, many locomotive factories built two-axle locomotives with diesel engines, mechanical gearboxes and chain drives that were able to travel at a maximum speed of 23 km / h. The Deutsche Reichsbahn-Gesellschaft DRG ordered machines of the so-called reinforced standard design, some of which were delivered with two or three-cylinder Deutz engines. After the Second more…

Kö I (Kaelble F125) N XL L M4

The history of the small shunting locomotives in the Kö I family goes back to 1933. To move few wagons or to operate smaller works connections, many locomotive factories built two-axle locomotives with diesel engines, mechanical gearboxes and chain drives that were able to travel at a maximum speed of 23 km/h. The Deutsche Reichsbahn-Gesellschaft DRG ordered machines of the so-called standard design, most of which were equipped with a 30 or 39 hp Kaelble F125 engine. The locomotives were used more…

Köf II (Kaelble GN 130 S) N XL L M4

After the Second World War, the DB needed more small diesel locomotives of Leistungsgruppe II. To standardize the stock, the DB only allowed Deutz and, from 1954, Kaelble as engine manufacturers. DB was already familiar with the tried and tested water-cooled Kaelble GN 130 s diesel engine from its road tractors. From 1963, the 107 to 128 hp six-cylinder was used as an exchange engine in other Köf Iis also. The motor was only available in combination with Voith fluid drives and compressed air more…

Köf III N XL L M4

In order to rationalize shunting operations at larger stations, the Zentralamt of German DB developed a two-axle diesel locomotive with hydrodynamic transmission together with the locomotive manufacturer Gmeinder. The first 300 copies still had a power transmission with chains, the others had a cardan shaft drive. The proven 240 hp RHS 518 from MWM was used as the engine for the series locomotives. The pre-series locomotives later classified as class 331 initially had to be content with a more…

LINT N XL L M4

Diesel railcar of the Alstom LHB Coradia-Series; sound is suitable for LINT 27 (BR 640), LINT 41 (BR648) and BR 641 ("Whale")

LINT 27 N XL L M4

For contemporary commuter and branch line passenger service DB ordered 30 samples of diesel mechanic rail cars Alstom-LHB Lint 27 in 1999. The tognum six cylinder engine delivers 428 HP and reaches a maximum speed of 120 km/h.

Lint 41 N XL L M4

Lint 41, diesel railcar
