The BBÖ VT 61 was a combustion engine - railcar of the Federal Railways Austria (BBÖ) and was built by Austro-Daimler . He was as a development of rail buses BBÖ VT 60 was formed and how these vehicles mover carriage .
history
In order to make traffic from Vienna to the Semmering more attractive, the BBÖ bought a light railcar from Austro-Daimler in 1932. After a successful police test drive on July 2, 1932, the inspection took place on July 29, 1932. From August 5, 1932, the railcar was in use between Vienna and Semmering as scheduled.
The railcar, popularly nicknamed Nurmi because it reached a top speed of 100 km / h, could not meet the expectations placed on it. The strong smell of gasoline inside did not make it very popular with passengers and the rail joints damaged the drive so much that the small vehicle often had to be taken out of service after a short time. The car was then only used in local traffic from St. Valentin, mostly to Mauthausen. In 1938 it became part of the Deutsche Reichsbahn . After relocating to Villach West, however, it was no longer used regularly. In 1943 it was equipped with a different engine and converted to LPG. In 1945 the vehicle was taken out of service.
Vehicle body
The rail bus had a number of innovations when it was created. This began with the high speed of the gasoline engine of 3,000 min -1 which yielded kg the vehicle the low seat weight of 265 and ended in the design of the drive, the tires of the wheels were as metal drums with flange configured in them was ever a pneumatic tire wheel, the was designed as a normal car wheel.
The undercarriage of the rail bus consisted of a light metal lattice frame, the car body was made of a box frame and sheet metal except for the roof, which was covered with artificial leather. Both sets of wheels were covered with removable sheet metal panels. There was only one entry in the middle of the vehicle. The vehicle had no pulling and buffing equipment .
At the front end of the wagon of the rail bus of the motor was located, which was formed as a six-cylinder four-cycle gasoline engine and 85 mm in cylinder diameter, 115 mm stroke and 3000 min -1 speed developed a power of 80 PS. As in automobile construction, the power was transmitted purely mechanically via a stick shift via a four-speed gearbox. The front wheel set was driven by a cardan shaft. The vehicle brake, which was designed as an oil pressure brake, was also adopted from the automotive industry.
Like the VT 60, the facility railcar could only run in one direction. At the end stations it had to be turned using turntables or a turning stamp attached to the vehicle.
