| Diesel locomotive V140 001, built 1935 by Krauss-Maffei with a MAN engine (8 cylinder, 700/min, 1030 kW) and Voith hydrodynamic transmission plus auxiliary engine (88 kW) with BBC generator for train energy supply and steam boiler for train heating. As the experience with small shunters and diesel railcars was promising, this was the first attempt to use a big diesel-hydraulic locomotive, intended to pull both freight trains of 500 t and passenger trains at up to 100 km/h. It was also equipped for push-pull operation from a cab car and hydrodynamic brake. In regular operation it could be used in the plans of class 38 (P8) steam locomotives around München. Due to fuel shortage in the second world war there was no series order for this class, but the war damage of the prototype was repaired and it was used around Frankfurt (Main) until 1953. It proved that diesel engines with hydraulic transmissions were suitable for locomotives, but the side rod drive was only practical at low speeds, so it was only used in shunters such as the V60, mainline locomotives were then built with cardan shafts. After retirement this locomotive went to the Technical University of Karlsruhe, 1978 to Deutsches Museum München, 2006 to Freilassing. To give an insight into the inner workings of the locomotive, the sidewall on one side has been opened. Lokwelt Freilassing, 2013-08-10. |
