Haarlemmermeer Light Railway 2-4-0 Locomotives in Netherlands


Class Details by Steve Llanso of Sweat House Media

Class 1101 (Locobase 20830)

Data from "The Haarlemmermeer Local Railways, Holland", Locomotive M-agazine, Volume XXVII [27] (15 September 1921), pp. 236-239. See Locobase 20829 for a history of this railway system.

LM reported in 1921 that the HSM ordered this quartet to handle increased traffic demand that the 0-6-0T L3s shown in Locobase 20829 struggled to work.

An obvious difference between the L3s and the 1101s was the replacement of the leading driven axle with an Adams radial axle carrying a leading truck with 800 mm (2 ft 7 1/2 in) wheels. In an unusual variation from the usual sequence, Walschaert gear working inside replaced Stephenson gear working outside on the L3s. 1101s featured a sizable superheater and Knorr feed water heater.

Werkspoor's superheater was made up 32 elements laid out in horizontal rows of 4-6-6-6-4 top to bottom. Each element occupied adjacent tubes, each of which had two runs of superheater tubes in a loop that turned at the firebox end. LM explained that each pair of elements presented four openings in a single flange connecting them to the superheater chamber. These four "go free through the flange and are welded to two special fittings, each taking two tube ends." A single 1 1/8" (28 mm) bolt held the flange against lugs and formed a steam-tight join. In a small locomotive, so many elements presented a nominally huge amount of superheater area, but Locobase wonders how much of the area was actually excess.)

Locobase suspects he demise of passenger service in 1950 led to the withdrawal of these four engines.
