Hello,
on the website of http://imagebase.lib.vt.edu/browse.php? ... s/loco/for
had been found some very interesting photos. At the end of the 1940th came the locomotives from Germany U.S. Zone into the USA.
The 2 – 8 – 2 locomotive with number 19 1001 was constructed for fast-trains. The maximal speed was 175 km p h (around 110 m p h). More you can see here: http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/DRG_Baureihe_19.10 and http://www.schneider-mayenfisch.com/drg ... 9_1001.htm
Here you can see a photo of the Henschel locomotive workshttp://www.worldrailfans.info/Articles/ ... 9-1001.jpg. She was built in 1941 and was running between Berlin, Hamburg and Hannover. Very interesting was the steam-motor transmission with one steam-motor per axe (two on the right and two on the left site). There had not been operated a special test-program, other things during this time had been more important.
So she came direct to the fast-train passenger-services. She pulled long fast-trains without any problems. In 1944 she got damaged because of the war.
The model-railway company BRAWA build a very good model. Look at on the website: http://www.brawa.de
The 2 – 10 – 2 locomotives with numbers 52 2006 and 52 1960 was built specially for the war on the east-front. She got a condens-tender for long distances without water for the desert regions in the Soviet- Unions (Russia and Ukraine).
The condensation-system was constructed in the 1920th for water-reset lines in South Africa and Near east. The maximal speed is 70 km p h (around 45 m p h).
It was only allowed to drive forward, because of the bad sight of the big condens-tender. For returns you had to turn the locomotive. She had two different kinds of tenders, one type with 4 axes und a bigger one with 5 axes.
The model-railway company PIKO built until 1990 a good model with the four-axes -tender.http://www.guetzold.de/Archiv%20G%2023.htm
Two others 2 – 10 – 0 with the numbers 42 1597 and 52 3674 was built also for the second war. The class 52 and 42 is a replaced construction of the normal class 50. The difference between class 52 and 42 is the weight of 15 and 18 tonnes per axes. Most of 52 have a frame of sheet metal and all 42 have one of parallel bars. Look at:http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/DRG_Baureihe_52 and http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/DRB_Baureihe_42
You can find models of class 50, 52 and 42 from ROCO, GÜTZOLD and LILIPUT.
The locomotives had been exposed at the Fort Monroe in Virginia. The 19 1001 was scrapped around 1954 at the harbour of New York. Some other people say, she is in the Area 51… The end of 52 2006 and of 42 1597 is unknown.
Who remembers these locomotives? Who had seen them and could say something about the transportation and the history in the USA?
With best regards from Stuttgart/ Germany
