Another visit to the Minden Museum Railway, also known as 'der Mindener Preußenzug' because its locos and rolling stock are beautifully restored into full Prussian livery. This trip traverses the western section of the line from Minden Oberstadt to Hille and back with a photographic run past at Hahlen

New Paper Craft: KPEV T-3/Br 89 Locomotive Paper Model Free Download

New Papercraft has been published on PaperCraftSquare: Link: http://www.papercraftsquare.com/kpev-t-3br-89-locomotive-paper-model-free-download.html Paper Craft Name: KPEV T-3/Br 89 Locomotive Paper Model Free Download Description:

This paper model is a KPEV T-3/Br 89 Locomotive, created by Bastelbogen Online. The scale of this paper Locomotive is in 1:45. In 1881, the Prussian State Railways ordered their first T-3 locomotives, unaware that this design was destined to become a world famous classic. To many railfans, the sight of T-3′s unmistakable silhouette conjures up romantic visions of lonely branch-line operations with the tiny locomotives hauling a string of four-wheeled coaches into yesteryear. While it may be difficult to pinpoint exactly what endears the T-3 to railfans, there is no doubt that the locomotives’ reliability and operating characteristics endeared it to both its engineers and owners. A total of 1550 T-3′s were built between 1881 and 1906 with 1345 of these going to the Prussian State Railways. The remainders were used on privately-owned lines both in Europe and elsewhere.

The T-3′s reputation was based on her simple yet ingenious design. The boiler was exceptionally efficient and generated fairly dry steam in spite of not having a superheater. The firebox grate area, originally 13sq ft was later increased to 14.5sq ft; the firebox squeezed in nicely between the last set of drivers.  The 43 inch diameter drivers were supported at three points making the locomotive quite stable. The ancient Allan-Trick valve gear was almost humorous in its operation but did its job well. However, time eventually caught up with the T-3; when branch line speed limits were raised from 30 mph to 40 mph; her speed capability of only 28 mph relegated her to yard duties for the remainder of her career.
