The BBÖ VT 60 was a made-up for rail transport bus that instead of the road wheels with disc wheels and wheel flanges equipped.
Technical data and history
In 1932 the Austrian Federal Railways (BBÖ) received their first rail bus under the name VT 60.01 , which had been converted from a Perl L 8 bus by the Carl Goldeband company in Vienna . The vehicle was painted beige and blue.
The vehicle was given a rigid front axle and could only travel in one direction. At the end stations it had to be turned using turntables or a turning stamp attached to the vehicle.
In 1933 three more vehicles of almost the same design followed, which were converted by the main workshop in St. Pölten . All rail buses were approved for one-man operation on specified routes and were used by the BBÖ in Mistelbach . After initial success, the rail buses did not meet the requirements of rail operations, so that they were withdrawn from service by 1933.
In 1938 they were taken over by the Deutsche Reichsbahn and were given the designations 724-727 . They were now deployed in Villach . From 1940 they were converted to operate with liquid gas. All vehicles survived World War II and were retired by 1948.
Vehicle body
During the renovation, the body of the rail bus remained largely unchanged. In the front half of the vehicle there was the driver's seat and two foldable longitudinal benches, in the rear there were twelve seats on six transverse benches, and the seats in the wheel section of the drive axle were raised. There was also a continuous rear bench seat in the rear of the vehicle. Passengers had access to the interior of the car via the front entrance door; an emergency door was located on the left side of the vehicle in front of the rear bench. The rail bus had an emergency coupling at the rear end and a bumper beam at buffer height at the front end. There was a luggage gallery on the roof.
The wheels had been redesigned in such a way that disc wheels were used instead of the car wheels, on which the wheel tires were screwed on. The tire thickness was given as 27 mm. The room was heated with fresh air heated by the exhaust gas.
