The ČSD series M 232.0 were two-axle diesel multiple units of the former Czechoslovak State Railways ČSD for local rail traffic .
history
This vehicle was developed for the preferred use on steep slopes, for which the M 130.1 series was the inspiration for the car body and the M 222.0 for the drive. In 1933/34, the first 19 vehicles with an output of 120 hp were built. In 1935 two more vehicles followed, in which the engine power was increased to 160 hp. The specified technical data refer to the first 19 vehicles. The external dimensions are the same for all vehicles.
technical features
The vehicle was powered by an 8-cylinder diesel engine from Škoda , which, together with the generator flange-mounted to it, was arranged in a subframe under the floor using the Bosch system . The internal combustion engine was water-cooled. In contrast to other Škoda railcars, this time the cooling elements were not arranged on the car roof, but under the car floor. It was certainly disadvantageous that the fuel tanks were also located under the car floor between the axles. When there was frost, the fuel in the pipelines was blocked.
The electrical power transmission took place according to the Škoda system . The traction drive motors were designed as deadbearing drive motors. The generator was also used to start the internal combustion engine from a battery system. The power transfer was assessed as very positive. The greatest advantages were the simplicity and unpretentiousness in operation and maintenance.
The car body was manufactured by the Ringhoffer factory and its compact shape resembles that of the M 130.101-160 . In the middle was the entry area with a toilet and 12 additional standing places, at the top were the passenger areas. With a seating arrangement of 3 + 2, they offered a total of 55 seats. The drivers judged somewhat negatively that the driver's seats arranged at both ends of the car body were not separated from the passenger compartment.
commitment
The two driven axles made the railcars particularly suitable for use on mountain routes. This is also evidenced by their missions, e.g. B. on the mountain routes around Raspenava . But they were also at home on the routes around Nymburk and other lines in Bohemia and Moravia .
During the Second World War , the vehicles were parked due to the quota of diesel fuel. One vehicle was taken out of service in 1938, the remaining 20 survived the war and were distributed among the boiler houses in Břeclav (4), Plzeň (6), Nymburk (8) and Veselí nad Moravou (2). Operations after the war are known on the Smržovka – Josefův Důl railway line around 1950 and on the Friedland regional railway lines . With the delivery of the new M 131.1 series , the number of operations gradually decreased. The last vehicle was retired in 1956.
The railcars of the M 232.0 series were undemanding vehicles in operation and particularly popular with sidecars because of their two powered axles. After retirement, some vehicles were converted into sidecars or sold. It is not known to what extent vehicles may have been preserved.
