Uintah Dampflok (Steam locomotive) # 51
| Uintah Dampflok (Steam locomotive) # 51 |
| Description: |
English below
Mallet Dampflok Nr. 51 der Uintah Railway.
Von dieser interessanten Loktype gab es bei der Uintah Railway nur zwei Exemplare.
Das Uintah-Basin liegt hoch in den Bergen im nordöstlichen Utah. In dieser unwirtlichen Gegend befindet sich das weltweit einzige Vorkommen an schwarzem Bitumen. 1903 wurde die Uintah Railway gegründet, um das Erz abzubauen. Die Bahn überquerte den Baxter Pass mit unglaublichen Steigungen von über 7%! In den 20er Jahren bauten die Baldwin Locomotive Works zwei 2-6-6-2 Mallet-Lokomotiven speziell für die Uintah. Das durch seine Größe beeindruckende LGB-Modell ist eine detaillierte Nachbildung der Lok No. 51. Mit seinen beiden zugstarken Triebwerken kann die LGB-Lok sogar den kleinsten LGB-Gleiskreis problemlos durchfahren, während die digitale Geräuschelektronik den echten Sound einer Dampflok wiedergibt. Dabei hören Sie unter anderem den Dampfausstoß, das Kohlenschaufeln und das Kreischen der Bremsen. Beim Vorbeifahren der Lok sehen Sie sogar das Flackern der Feuerbüchse!

Mallet steam loco No. 51 of the Uintah Railway.
There were only two of these fascinating locos on the Uintah Railway.
The Uintah Basin lies in the high mountains of northeast Utah. It´s an inhospitable place, but it had one distinction: The Uintah Basin was once the world´s only source for gilsonite ore. The Uintah Railway was established in 1903 to carry that ore, and to conquer the difficult terrain, the railroad had to climb unusually steep grades, some greater than 7%. In the 1920´s, the Baldwin Locomotive Works built two 2-6-6-2 "Mallets" especially for the railway. This big LGB model is an authentic replica of the original No. 51. The model features two power units that enable the massive model to negotiate even the tightest radius of LGB track. LGB digital electronics reproduce the actual sounds of a real steam loco, including exhaust chuffs, coal shoveling, brake squeals and more. There´s even a flickering flame in the fire box. |
