The vehicles of the M 220.1 series were four-axle benzene-mechanical railcars for local rail traffic of the former Czechoslovak State Railways (ČSD). They were among the first types of motorized railcars of the ČSD.

history

The railcars were built in 1926 by the Böhmisch Leipa wagon factory (Severočeská Vagónka Česká Lípa) in five copies. They were among the first ČSD motorized railcars.

Cars 03 and 04 were used on the Častolowitz – Reichenau local railway on the Kněžna – Solnitz in Eastern Bohemia . They completely replaced the steam operation in passenger traffic, which was carried out in mixed trains with goods transport. With the use of the railcars, the maximum speed was increased from 25 to 40 km / h. In 1932 they were replaced by the M 120.423 and 424 and delivered to Hradec Králové . There the vehicles retired between 1936 and 1938.

Cars 01, 02 and 05 ran as an express train on the Reichenberg – Gablonz – Tannwald line (Liberec – Jablonec – Tanvald) to reinforce the traffic peaks during the hiking season . After the Sudetenland was annexed to Germany in autumn 1938, these vehicles came to the Deutsche Reichsbahn . There they were given the road numbers 136 410 to 136 412.

All five vehicles were retired by 1945. In Čelákovice is superstructure of M survived 220,104. It belongs to the collection of the National Technical Museum in Prague .

technical features

The vehicles were powered by a six-cylinder in-line gasoline engine from Deutsche Werke Kiel (DWK). The power was transmitted mechanically via a gearbox. With an output of 112.5 kW, the railcars reached a top speed of 50 km / h. The chassis consisted of two two-axle bogies.

When delivered, the railcars had room for 16 people in 2nd and 62 passengers in 3rd class. Later the 2nd class compartment was converted into 3rd class smokers . In the vehicles, the smell of gasoline in the passenger compartment was perceived as particularly disadvantageous.
