230 Is 3103 to 3280

The Ten wheel series 11 S numbers 3103 to 3280 are locomotive with vapor built by the Compagnie of the railroads of the East. This series, of provision of Axle X 230, was built in nine batches:

This series of 178 units presented differences between the batches but nevertheless one can distinguish two under-series with the 3103 to 3230 on a side and the 3231 to 3280 of the other. In 1938 the 28 remaining machines became the 1-230 J between 108 and 219 with the SNCF because all the others underwent modifications and will become the 230 Is 230.103 to 230.280 (future: 1-230 K 103 to 280 ). These transformations started in 1932 and will continue until in 1946 with the last 1-230 J .

They laid out of an engine compound with four uncrossed cylinders of type “Of Bousquet De Glehn” with the cylinders HP outsides and the cylinders BP interiors. The hearth was of type “Belpaire” and the exhaust with valves for the first machines but it was quickly replaced by a clover with 3 jets. The distribution was of the type “Walschaerts”. The Bogie was with interior members and had a side displacement of approximately 53 mm and it was braked.

The machines of the first 2 batches did not have at the origin elements superheaters and were classified in the series 11 but thereafter, with 1912 with 1914, they were equipped with elements DM 3 or DM 4 and thus returned in the series 11 S . The models of superheaters were:

  • of the elements “Schmidt” for the 3147 to 3164 and the 3191 to 3230
  • of the elements “Mestre” for the 3165 to 3169
  • helicoid for the 3170 to 3190
  • helicoid cascades about it for the 3166 to 3170
Thereafter and in a preoccupation with a standardization all the machines accepted elements DM 3 or DM 4 like the machines of the first 2 batches and the 3231 to 3280 .

The machines 3126 to 3132 had, moreover, one vapor drier between the cylinders HP and BP located in the Smoke-box what modified the aspect of the support of the aforesaid the box. The door of the Smoke-box was bent in a spherical way and was based on a range punt for the 3103 to 3230 whereas it had a crown punt and was based on a range covers some for the 3231 to 3280 .

Certain units were equipped with a heater of the type “ACFI” with at the head of series the 3237 in 1927. The 3103 to 3164 had 2 domes of vapor catch whereas the following ones did not have about it any more but one. The engines 3103 to 3150 had a door on the right-sided allowing the direct access with the apron.

Starting from 1925 were tested several solutions to avoid the folding backs of smoke. One thus finds the 3188 which accepted a Paraboloïde of Prandlt, the 3244 which accepted a square chimney (!) and 13 machines which accepted various sheet envelopes joining together the various domes, the sand pit and the chimney. Of all these tests one arrived at final at screens scented of small size of rectangular form at edges rounded (typical of these machines!).

In 1925 was brought into service the 3240 which had a stamped boiler with 20 kg/cm ². They was the first machines European to have such a stamp but it was not maintained and the machine found a stamp identical to the remainder of the series.

Satisfied with the results of the 230 Is 3401 to 3500 (future: 1-230 has 401 to 500 ), and in front of the lack of power to come from the machines with 2 Essieu X coupled, the Compagnie of the railroads of the East made build in its workshops of Épernay a copy but with a more powerful boiler and Roue S of a largeer diameter of these machines. Thus were born the prototypes 3101 and 3102 which will be initially classified series 9 , but well quickly they were classified series 11 because they answered well better than the hopes put in them. The whole series was built with still higher dimensions and improvements which were also applied to the 2 prototypes. Assigned to the deposits speed of the Company one thus finds them with: Paris the Villette, Noisy-the-Dryness, Chaumont, Châlons-sur-Marne, Rheims, Nancy, Mohon and Chalindrey. They allowed a raising of rates on all the express trains and rapids.

Constituting the most important series of Ten wheel , they were also most powerful. In this form or that of the 230 Is 230.103 to 230.280 (future: 1-230 K 103 to 280 ) they also constituted the best machines speed and most typical of the Compagnie of the railroads of the East.

The 3101 and 3102 were reformed for 1933.

The tenders which theirs were coupled were of the type:

  • of the tenders with 3 axles containing 22 m ³ water and 8 T of coal registered 3103 to 3230 then 1-22 has 103 to 230

The 3231 to 3280 being intended to make long ways it was decided of equipped with the attachment side tender of the type “TI (tender interchangable)” and of the platform of the type “Mestre”. One finds thus coupled the tenders of the types:

  • of the tenders with Bogie S containing 26,6 m ³ water and 7 T of coal registered 25041 to 25094 then 1-25 C 41 to 94
  • of the tenders always with bogies but containing 32 m ³ water and 10 T of coal registered 32001 to 32025 then 1-32 always has 1 to 25
  • tenders with bogies but with same capacity that the 1-32 has 1 to 25 but different registered 32026 to 32050 then 1-32 B 26 to 50
  • and finally of the tenders always with bogies and similar to the 32 B , at least by the frame, containing 35 m ³ water and 7 T of coal registered 35001 to 35082 then 1-35 has 1 to 82
