My research on the OBB 2092
Verfasst: 28. Mai 2019, 08:07
My research so far.
All four HF130's that were later to become OBB Class 2092 abandoned on the Steyrtalbahn at the end of WW2 were taken into OBB stock by 1950.
The HF130 types, of which many were built by various manufacturers to a common design and used all over Europe, Austria found themselves with four nearly new machines, two built 1944 by Gmeinder with Deutz engines and Voith transmissions became 2092.01 and 2092.02 with two built 1943 by Windhoff with Kamper engines and Trilok transmissions becoming 2092.101 and 2092.102 .
Liverywise, all were painted in OBB green until the late 50's / early 60's when .01 and .02 were painted in the new cream over red livery that the new Class 2095 locomotives were appearing in. The two slightly older Windhoff machines were not as reliable or as powerful and in 1960, 2092.102 was taken into works and rebuilt with a wider footplate, a larger barrel roofed cab a Deutz engine and a Voith gearbox becoming 2092.04. By the photo below, it would seem that it was outshopped in cream over red livery. In 1961, 2092.101 was similarly treated and also receiving a Deutz engine and Voith gearbox becoming 2092.03, outshopped in the new OBB orange livery.
In 1962, both Gmeinder examples also received the new body profile, both being outshopped in OBB orange livery.
The extra height on top of the radiator area on the rebuilt examples are solid weights. Extra weight was also added to the front buffer beam.
