The locomotive locomotive Ns2f: The locomotive locomotive locomotive locomotive Karl Marx was one of the most developed locomotive locomotives in the former GDR. With the serial number 48318 you were presented for the first time in 1952 at the Leipziger Messe. The engine is powered by a 30 hp engine that delivers power to the two locomotive axles. For the first two gears, the gearbox received wet-clutch clutches and a third gear with a lamella-dry clutch for speeds of up to 14 km / h. The locomotive has an electrical system and is designed for track widths from 485 to 630 mm. From 1952 to 1959 550 copies of this popular field railway locomotive were produced. Due to its robustness, it is still widely used today in the parks and museum railways, also in western regions.
The model: The locomotive models are as in the example as variants with open and closed cab. The small locomotives are powered by a 3 volt micro-precision engine with gear reduction for model slow driving and strong traction. Thanks to a built-in magnet, the contact pressure of the locomotive is increased to the metal submerged narrow track track, thus guaranteeing a reliable current consumption from the rails and slow-running slow travel. The locomotives have a coupling pin for the realistic train formation on the rear of the cab as well as a magnetic clutch for operation with lorries and wagons from the Busch-pit railway range. As in the original, the smallest track radii (up to 100 mm) can be driven with the locomotive locomotive. Due to the compact design and the low space requirement, it can also be used very well for the diorama design and supplementation of existing model railway systems.
Karl Marx Babelsberg (LKM) was the most important manufacturer of diesel-powered locomotive locomotives in the former GDR and emerged from the plant of the mechanical engineering and railway supplies company, formerly Orenstein & Koppel in Berlin. The integration into the VVB LOWA took place in 1948 (with the abbreviation LOWA the association of Volkseigener enterprises of the locomotive and wagon building of the GDR was founded in 1945). The diesel type program, launched in 1950, contained numerous narrow-gauge variants. The VEB LKM existed until the end of the GDR in 1990 and was closed in 1992 after conversion into a GmbH and the subsequent "settlement". Today there is a commercial park on the former factory grounds of the LKM in Potsdam.
