Dampfturbine N XL L M4

For increase of traction power and to gain coal efficiency few locomotive manufacturers had developed steam turbine locomotives in the 1920s till 1940s. In 1926 German Lokomotivfabrik J.A. Maffei for example built the 4-6-2 steamturbine locomotive T18 002 with Ljungstoem drive train. The loco delivered 2000 HP and reached a maximum speed of 120 km/h. Deutsche Reichsbahn-Gesellschaft DRG used the loco for fast passenger trains till it had been damaged during WW II. Even the most successful steam more…

ELNA N XL L M4

To standardize steam locomotives, the Engere Locomotive Standards Committee (ELNA) was founded in 1917. In addition to the framework conditions for the Einheitslokomotiven of the Deutsche Reichsbahn-Gesellschaft DRG, the ELNA also laid down principles for steam locomotives of non-state-owned railways. Three types were developed, of which the 1’C and D versions were by far the most common. Many parts could be exchanged for one another. Since frames, water boxes and driver's cabs were not more…

ETAT 231 981-996, SNCF N XL L M4

After the First World War, the French ETAT received 16 examples of the Bavarian express train locomotive type S3/6. The four-cylinder locomotives were classified as 3-231 A981-996. The three-coupled locomotives, which had 1770 hp and could reach speeds of 120 km/h, were used in the south-west of France and proved very effective on express and passenger trains. During the Second World War, the German occupying forces drove the locomotives to southern Germany and returned them to scrap after the more…

G8.1_55.25-56_KPEV-DRG-DB-DR N XL L M4

In order to be able to transport heavier freight trains, the Prussian state railway KPEV commissioned the development of a four-coupled tender locomotive in 1911. The experience gained with the larger G10 series was incorporated into the development of the locomotive, initially known as the G8 reinforced design, and so the 1260 hp new design proved to be on a par with its larger sister in many respects and even superior in terms of driving characteristics on winding routes. That's why the KPEV more…

GWR Class 41xx N XL L M4

From 1908, the British Great Western Railway GWR purchased several series of a steam locomotive type generally known as the Large Prairie (wheel arrangement 2-6-2T). The last series were the 4100-4179, built between 1934 and 1949. The three-coupled locomotives, which were equally fast forwards and backwards, were primarily used on suburban trains, but also proved their worth on light freight trains. The last of the 1039 hp, 75 mph two-cylinder superheated steam locomotives were retired by 1965, more…

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…

RhB G 4/5 N XL L M4

In the early 1900s narrow gauge railway RhB of Switzerland needed stronger locos. Swiss locomotive manufacturer SLM Winterthur built 29 samples of 2-4-0 locos G 4/5. The locos deliver 800 HP and reach a maximum speed of 45 km/h. After electrification of the whole rail net RhB sold or scrapped the locos except for two samples that rest in Switzerland for snow clearance duty or for railfan trains.
