The steam locomotives of Bavarian Class LE were
narrow gauge engines with the Royal Bavarian State Railways
(Königlich Bayerische Staats-Eisenbahnen).
History
The engines were manufactured for the
-Bahnhof. In 1885 the railway procured two units and, in 1892, a third. After the 5.2 kilometre long line was extended from Eichstätt by 30 kilometres, two more engines were added in 1898 and 1900. The machines carried railway numbers I - V.The
standard gauge
.
Technical Features
The engines were of a design by Krauss that, in similar dimensions, was used for other classes, include some for the Felda Railway, later the Prussian T 31, and designated by the factory as XXXV.
The locomotives had a box
Allan valve gear, the connecting rod
worked the third axle. On the first locomotives the driving gear was also covered, but these were removed around 1908. The coal bunkers were located in front of the driver's cab. The engines carried up to 1.77 m3 of water and 0.65 tonnes of coal.
The air pump for the compressed-air brake was positioned at the front right, next to the smokebox, the air reservoirs were on the right and left of the boiler and the silencer was fixed to the chimney.
