Prototype:
From 1962 Deutz offered the two-axle diesel-hydraulic KG 230 B in the power class of a Köf III. KG stands for small locomotive with cardan shaft drive, 230 for the power in PS and B for the wheel arrangement. The in-house air-cooled twelve-cylinder engine A12L714 developed 230 hp at 2000 rpm. The seven KG 230s built for explosion-sensitive plants were not equipped with a water-cooled six-cylinder diesel engine. The gears of most locomotives were set to a maximum speed of between 20 and 30 km / h for the benefit of tractive power. Depending on the position of the track, the orderers had additional metal placed in the frame area so that the locomotives with a weight of 26 to 36 t could be ordered. The two locomotives from Bayernhafen AG and the BEHALA locomotives even had multiple control devices. Despite the meanwhile advanced age, many of the two-axle vehicles still in use today still have their original engine. Since most of the companies had only a few locomotives, they were kept technically in a good condition, as they could not be dispensed with. The few employees who had been trained on the locomotives knew the limits of their locomotives over the years, and the simple and robust truck technology could often be kept running with the factory's "on-board tools". Deutz delivered a total of 64, Henschel still three KG 230 B, mainly to German owners, but also to France, Italy, Luxembourg and the Netherlands. The Deutsche Bundespost procured one example, and there were other state service locomotives from the Italian State Railways FS and the Spanish RENFE. The list of owners reads like a who's who of major European industry: BASF, RAG, Wintershall, BP, DEA, Shell, VTG, Arbed, Thyssen, Mannesmann, Feldmühle AG, Krupp Stahl, Rheinpreußen, Rhenus, RWE , Ford, MAN, Volkswagen, Kali + Salz, Portland Zement, Holcim Zement, Südzucker AG. For port logistics in Aschaffenburg, Berlin, Braunschweig, Bremerhaven, Ginsheim-Gustavsburg, Hanover, Regensburg and at Luxport in Wasserbillig, the reliability and traction of the air-cooled two-axle vehicles were relied on. The high quality of the construction is shown by the fact that the locomotives are not scrapped when they are not needed, but are sold on. In elegant red paint, a locomotive at the association 241-A-65 carefully moves valuable museum vehicles. BP, DEA, Shell, VTG, Arbed, Thyssen, Mannesmann, Feldmühle AG, Krupp Stahl, Rheinpreußen, Rhenus, RWE, Ford, MAN, Volkswagen, Kali + Salz, Portland Zement, Holcim Zement, Südzucker AG. For port logistics in Aschaffenburg, Berlin, Braunschweig, Bremerhaven, Ginsheim-Gustavsburg, Hanover, Regensburg and at Luxport in Wasserbillig, the reliability and traction of the air-cooled two-axle vehicles were relied on. The high quality of the construction is shown by the fact that the locomotives are not scrapped when they are not needed, but are resold. In elegant red paint, a locomotive at the association 241-A-65 carefully moves valuable museum vehicles. BP, DEA, Shell, VTG, Arbed, Thyssen, Mannesmann, Feldmühle AG, Krupp Stahl, Rheinpreußen, Rhenus, RWE, Ford, MAN, Volkswagen, Kali + Salz, Portland Zement, Holcim Zement, Südzucker AG. For port logistics in Aschaffenburg, Berlin, Braunschweig, Bremerhaven, Ginsheim-Gustavsburg, Hanover, Regensburg and at Luxport in Wasserbillig, the reliability and traction of the air-cooled two-axle vehicles were relied on. The high quality of the construction is shown by the fact that the locomotives are not scrapped when they are not needed, but are resold. In elegant red paint, a locomotive at the association 241-A-65 carefully moves valuable museum vehicles. For port logistics in Aschaffenburg, Berlin, Braunschweig, Bremerhaven, Ginsheim-Gustavsburg, Hanover, Regensburg and at Luxport in Wasserbillig, the reliability and traction of the air-cooled two-axle vehicles were relied on. The high quality of the construction is shown by the fact that the locomotives are not scrapped when they are not needed, but are sold on. In elegant red paint, a locomotive at the association 241-A-65 carefully moves valuable museum vehicles. For port logistics in Aschaffenburg, Berlin, Braunschweig, Bremerhaven, Ginsheim-Gustavsburg, Hanover, Regensburg and at Luxport in Wasserbillig, the reliability and traction of the air-cooled two-axle vehicles were relied on. The high quality of the construction is shown by the fact that the locomotives are not scrapped when they are not needed, but are sold on. In elegant red paint, a locomotive at the association 241-A-65 carefully moves valuable museum vehicles. but to be sold on. In elegant red paint, a locomotive at the association 241-A-65 carefully moves valuable museum vehicles. but to be sold on. In elegant red paint, a locomotive at the association 241-A-65 carefully moves valuable museum vehicles.
