The BBÖ VT 62 of the Federal Railways Austria (BBÖ) was manufactured by Austro-Daimler and was the further development of the BBÖ VT 61 .
Technical data and history
In contrast to the VT 61, the VT 62 was equipped with a two-machine system and had a fluid transmission as a power transmission for each machine system . The vehicles had been developed for local and long-distance traffic and had different gear ratios for a top speed of 85 and 100 km / h. With them six sidecars identical in appearance were procured.
The fact that the vehicles could not prevail in the tough everyday operation was due to the fact that the car bodies were too weak. The power of the engines was not enough and was increased to 100 hp in the BBÖ VT 63 . The vehicles were initially used in Vienna . Several fires occurred in operation of the VT 62.01 , after which it was retired in the mid-1930s and the remaining vehicles were parked in St. Pölten . The remaining five cars were reactivated by the Deutsche Reichsbahn in 1938 and designated as 730-734 after structural measures to improve fire protection were carried out.
During the Reichsbahn era, the railcars were used in Villach . At the beginning of the war they were initially turned off and transferred to the Reich Railway Directorate in Cologne . There, the three cars 730-732 suffered severe damage from aerial bombs , so that they were retired by 1944. In 1943 the 733 and 734 were still in operation and were converted to LPG. The 733 was ordered back to Villach, where it was hit by a bomb in 1945. The 734 stayed in Krefeld and was retired there in 1944.
A preferred area of application for the vehicles was the Semmering Railway .
Vehicle body
The VT 62 had a driver's cab at each end of the vehicle. The driver's workplace was on the left side of the driver's cab. In addition, the vehicles were equipped with Scharfenberg couplings for carrying the sidecar and had a toilet. As with the VT 61, the machinery was installed at the ends in front of the wheelsets. As with the VT 61, access to the interior of the car was through a middle door. From there, the two passenger compartments, which were designed as open- plan compartments with a central aisle, went off at both ends . The heating was done by fresh air heated with the exhaust gases from the engine. At the end of the tapered driver's cabs there were transitions with bascule bridges for the drivers to enter the sidecar. The sheet metal thickness of the car body is given as just 0.8 mm. The roof was designed as a wire mesh, which was covered with artificial leather. The drive was designed like its predecessor , only reinforced due to the larger wheelbase.
The same drive motors as for the VT 61 were used for the two-machine system . For the first time a fluid transmission was used for power transmission, which consisted of a converter and a clutch circuit and was manufactured by Voith in St. Pölten. The gearbox was shifted electropneumatically. The cooling system for the water cooling of the engine was installed as a tubular cooler behind the bulkhead. A fan was also driven by the motor immediately next to it. A pump took care of the water circulation. The railcar had an electrical system with 24 V DC . It was fed by the lighting machines or the battery. The voltage could be kept largely constant by a light regulator from Siemens . A three-tone horn and electrical lighting were connected as consumers. The vehicle also had an exhaust horn as a signaling system.
