Klein-Linder
The Klien-Lindner axle (German: ''Klien-Lindner-Hohlachse'') is a special type of hollow driving axle on steam locomotives that enable better curve running due to its ability to slide transversely. It was developed by the German engineers, Ewald Klien and Heinrich Lindner, of the Royal Saxon State Railways (''Königlich Sächsische Staatseisenbahnen''). Design features The Klien-Lindner axle uses a double, or hollow, axle, one inside the other. It has a hollow axle (''Hohlachse'') on the outside, connected at its centre by a Cardan joint to a fixed driving axle running through it. The Cardan joint comprises two spherical elements that are interlinked - a solid one on the fixed axle and a hollow one on the outer hollow axle, each oriented at 90° to the other that transfer the driving forces from the rigid axle to the hollow one. The hollow spheroid acts as a sort of link motion. In this way the hollow axle can be turned by the fixed axle. In addition, the connecting link is shape ...

Everard Calthrop
Everard Richard Calthrop (3 March 1857 – 30 March 1927) was a British railway engineer and inventor. Calthrop was a notable promoter and builder of narrow-gauge railways, especially of narrow gauge, and was especially prominent in India. His most notable achievement was the Barsi Light Railway, but he is best known in his home country for the Leek and Manifold Valley Light Railway. Calthrop has been described as a "railway genius".Bennett, Paul ''Pickled Passengers – The Narrow Gauge number 219''. Narrow Gauge Railway Society. Later in life he took an interest in aviation, patenting some early designs for parachutes. Early life and career Calthrop was born on 3 March 1857, the eldest son of farmer Everard Calthrop. He had six brothers, one of whom was Sir Guy Calthrop, general manager of the London & North Western Railway. The family lived at Deeping Fen, Lincolnshire, where Calthrop was born, and later at Sutton in the Isle of Ely. Calthrop was educated at Uppingh ...

The Leighton Buzzard Light Railway (LBLR) is a light railway in Leighton Buzzard in Bedfordshire, England. It operates on narrow-gauge track and is just under long. The line was built after the First World War to serve sand quarries north of the town. In the late 1960s the quarries switched to road transport and the railway was taken over by volunteers, who now run the line as a heritage railway. History Sand extraction A bed of Lower Cretaceous sand across Bedfordshire has been quarried on a small scale for centuries. The most significant occur around Leighton Buzzard. In the 19th century sand was carried by horse carts from quarries south of the town to be shipped on the Dunstable-Leighton Buzzard railway. The carts damaged roads and resulted in claims for compensation against the quarry owners from Bedfordshire County Council. At the end of the century steam wagons were introduced which increased the damage to roads. The outbreak of the First World War cut off suppli ...

Klose-Lenkwerk
Adolf Klose (21 May 1844 – 2 September 1923) was the chief engineer of the Royal Württemberg State Railways in southern Germany from June 1885 to 1896. Klose was born in Bernstadt auf dem Eigen, in Saxony. Before his taking up his post in Stuttgart he had been the technical inspector of the United Swiss Railways (''Vereinigten Schweizerbahnen''). After a period of depending on Prussian prototypes between 1865 and 1885, a new engineering direction followed under Klose's time in office. It was stamped by numerous home-grown ideas and discoveries. In particular he promoted the introduction of compound working for steam locomotives in Württemberg. The patented Klose steering (''Klose-Lenkwerk'') carries his name. This was a multipartite and complex device for steam locomotives, which controlled the radial setting of leading and trailing wheelsets in order to improve curve running. Unfortunately, its costly maintenance and tendency to develop faults meant that his invention ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Sir Arthur Heywood, 3rd Baronet
Sir Arthur Percival Heywood, 3rd Baronet (25 December 1849 – 19 April 1916) is best known today as the innovator of the fifteen inch minimum gauge railway, for estate use. Early life He was the eldest son of Sir Thomas Percival Heywood and grew up in the family home of Dove Leys at Denstone in Staffordshire. Dove Leys looked over the valley where the North Staffordshire Railway from Rocester to Ashbourne ran. The family travelled by train to their relatives in Manchester and on holiday to Inveran in the Highland region of Scotland. Heywood developed a passion for the railway from an early age. He assisted his father in his hobby of ornamental metalwork, with a Holtzapffel lathe, and in his late teenage, built a 4 in gauge model railway with a steam locomotive. Wanting something on which his younger siblings could ride, he went on to build a 9 in gauge locomotive and train, which gave him the experience for his later ventures. Initially schooled at Eto ...

Saxon IX V
The Saxon Class IX \textstyle \mathfrak was a class of German, eight-coupled, tender locomotives built for the Royal Saxon State Railways (''Königlich Sächsische Staatseisenbahnen'') for goods train duties. History These steam locomotives were brought into service, after it was clear that the Saxon Class I V (later DRG Class 55) could no longer the demands placed on it. The locomotive had a hollow, Klien-Lindner axle at the back and, initially, a long steam collection pipe above the centre of the boiler which was replaced on later models by two steam domes and a connecting pipe. Twenty machines were delivered by the firm of Hartmann as wet steam engines, a further 30 with a ''Schmidt'' smoke tube superheater. The Deutsche Reichsbahn took over 16 of the first series and gave them the running numbers 56 501–56 516. Of the second batch, 25 were taken on with numbers 56 601–56 625. The vehicle were coupled with tenders of Saxon classes sä 3 T 9, sä 3 T 12 or sä 3 T 13 ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Saxon XV HTV
The Saxon Class XV \textstyle \mathfrakT\textstyle \mathfrak was a class of goods train steam locomotive operated by the Royal Saxon State Railways, which had been conceived for hauling trains and acting as banking engines for routes in the Ore Mountains. In 1925 the Deutsche Reichsbahn grouped them into their DRG Class 79.0. History The two locomotives were built in 1916 at the Sächsischen Maschinenfabrik, formerly Hartmann. The undercarriage of the locomotives was unusual. Instead of an alternative proposal for a twelve-coupled locomotive with sideways-sliding Gölsdorf axles, as was realised a year later in the shape of the Württemberg K, the Saxon Railways decided on a proposal by their head of the engineering department, Lindner, for a design that was unique in Germany: the Saxon XV HTV was given two, fixed, six-coupled drives. This was mainly because they had doubts about the suitability of the ''Gölsdorf'' system for twelve-couplers. The outside axles were designed ...

Saxon V K
The Saxon Class V K were German narrow gauge steam locomotives operated by the Royal Saxon State Railways which had been primarily intended for the '' Müglitztalbahn''. In 1925 the Deutsche Reichsbahn incorporated arranged these locomotives as DRG Class 99.61. History For the hilly line of the ''Müglitztalbahn'' from Mügeln to Geising- Altenberg the Sächsische Maschinenfabrik in Chemnitz developed an eight-coupled locomotive which, it was envisaged, would handle this route better that the hitherto deployed Saxon Classes I K and IV K. In 1901 and from 1905 to 1907 a total of nine locomotives were placed in service. Those built in 1905 had a slightly larger driver's cab. Whilst the new type of drive using Klien-Lindner axles allowed the engines to negotiate tight curves, in the end the new Class V K proved just as complicated and maintenance-intensive as the tried and tested IV K. For that reason no more were procured, despite their better starting characteristics. A ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Saxon I K
The Saxon I K (one-K) were a class of German narrow-gauge locomotives of the Royal Saxon State Railways (''Königlich Sächsischen Staatseisenbahnen, K.Sä.St.E.'') with a track gauge of . In 1925, Deutsche Reichsbahn grouped these locomotives into their DRG class 99.750–752. History From 1881 onwards, numerous narrow-gauge lines were opened in the Kingdom of Saxony, some of which were built with many inclines and curves. For this purpose, the Royal Saxon State Railways procured 39 small, six-coupled tank locomotives from the '' Sächsische Maschinenfabrik vormals Richard Hartmann AG'' in Chemnitz. From 1890 another five examples were delivered to the private Zittau-Oybin-Jonsdorfer Eisenbahn-Gesellschaft (ZOJE), which were taken over by the K.SäSt.E. in 1906; and in 1907 were given operating numbers 49 to 53 by the K.SäSt.E. The locomotives built for the K.Sä.St.E. were initially placed in the class H V TK, which was changed to K I in 1896 and I&nb ...
