The steam locomotive DRG Class 44 built in the years 1926 – 1949 with a quantity of 1,989 copies is still today with 3 still locomotives locomotive a heavy, 5-speed coupled freight train unit steam locomotive with triple engine. With its 3 cylinders, it was used for the carriage of goods trains on medium-haul roads with a total load of 1,200 t and over steep ramps 600 t could be moved. For testing, 10 steam locomotives with a net weight of 110.2 t of the steam locomotive DRG [amazon_textlink asin=’3870940905′ text=’Class 44′ template=’ProductLink’ store=’eisenbfrbln-21′ marketplace=’DE’ link_id=’46769172-d212-11e8-9319-f304bdcb15d9′] were built first. Since these could not produce sufficient steam, after 1937 a further 1,979 pieces of the steam locomotive DRG Class 44 were manufactured, which were converted from coal to oil starting from 1958. When operating with oil, tough, almost cold heavy oil was preheated to about 70°C in the tender, thus it was flowable and atomized by a jet of steam in the combustion chamber and burned. During the Second World War, from 1942, there were war-related simplifications of the construction. So you renounced in this time on spoilers and i. E. also the respective front cab side window. After the war, these reductions were reversed.
