The BBÖ VT 43 was an engine - railcars of the Austrian Federal Railways (BBÖ).
history
The VT 43 was manufactured in 1936 by Maschinen- und Waggonbaufabrik AG in Simmering as a three-axle variant of the BBÖ VT 42 .
In 1940 it was parked by the Deutsche Reichsbahn . It was badly damaged in World War II, so that it was extensively rebuilt between 1947 and 1949 before being used again.
In 1956 there was a further conversion in which the electrical equipment was adapted to that of the 5042 series. The generator of the type GA 135 was replaced by one of the type EDG 130. Instead of the two USLW 324 drive motors, an EDM 116 motor was installed, which only powered the bogie.
The railcar was used in the first years of operation by the BBÖ from Vienna-South, Wels and Attnang-Puchheim. After the war it was used in the Bregenz area. Between 1955 and 1957 he was stationed in Vienna FJB, after which he was relocated to Graz.
On January 20, 1961, the conversion of the railcar to the 5042.15 began using individual parts from the decommissioned 5042.07. The car body was lengthened and a second bogie and an additional drive motor were installed. The renovation work was completed on June 18, 1963.
