Two- axle railcars of the former Czechoslovak State Railways (ČSD) for traffic on branch lines were designated as the ČSD series M 131.0 .
history
In 1929 Vagonka Studénka produced these railcars in two series with electrical power transmission based on the simple GEBUS system . The company with its factories in Vienna and Salzburg dealt with the electrical equipment of electric rail vehicles.
The vehicles formed the technical basis for the M 122.0 series , which was manufactured in large numbers after 1930.
One use of the vehicles is documented for the Central Bohemian local railway Čelákovice – Mochov . There, M 131.001 led the opening train for passenger services on May 14, 1939.
technical features
The basis of the power transmission of the vehicle is a six-cylinder four-stroke gasoline engine from Gräf & Stift . This engine had a cylinder diameter of 115 mm and a stroke of 125 mm. The designers went the way to increase performance via a small stroke and higher speed. The operating results were probably not good because a Tatra engine was used in the M 122.0 series . The electrical power transmission according to the GEBUS system, however, was also adopted by the successor series.
The car body had three parts. In the first series, the passenger compartment had 58 seats. The driver's cabs were at each end of the vehicle. The rear part was larger than the front in the second series. A toilet was arranged in it and a luggage compartment opposite. The number of seats was thereby reduced to 48. In addition, the second series differed in the total weight. The motor vehicle was heated by the exhaust gases from the engine. This and the other devices, such as the brake, proved their worth and were taken over into the M 122.0 series.
