The BLE T 1 was a combustion engine - railcar of the Braunschweigische Landes-Eisenbahn-Gesellschaft (BLE). It was manufactured as a benzene-mechanical railcar in 1925 and converted to diesel-mechanical operation in 1933. The railcar came into the inventory of the Deutsche Reichsbahn after 1945 , but was no longer used there. In 1972 the vehicle was scrapped.
History and technical data
The vehicle was manufactured in 1925 as a benzene-mechanical railcar by the Hannoversche Waggonfabrik (HAWA). The heavy-duty body with the large front coolers was characteristic of the car.
The literature does not provide any information about uses. It was only noted that the annual output of the railcar should have been 30,000 km in the years 1930 to 1933. After the conversion to a diesel engine, the annual output increased to up to 170,000 km. With the nationalization of the BLE in 1938, the railcar came into the inventory of the Deutsche Reichsbahn and was designated as 137 327 . There is no information about the use at the DR. In 1943, the railcar was still available in the Reichsbahn repair shop in Nuremberg and was proposed for sale there.
After the Second World War , the vehicle came into the inventory of the Deutsche Reichsbahn in the GDR and was stationed in the Berlin Rummelsburg depot . It was scrapped in 1972 after a long period of storage in the Wittenberge repair shop without being used .
Vehicle body
The car body of the vehicle was made according to the so-called heavy construction with a riveted underframe. The two end entrances and the luggage compartment between the two compartments were characteristic of the car body. The 2nd class compartment was located on one side of the luggage compartment. It offered space for eight travelers and was designed as a compartment with a side passage. The remaining two compartments of the 3rd carriage class were designed as open- plan compartments with a central aisle and offered space for 54 passengers. The front section of the car body was rounded off in a pentagonal manner with a transition door with a bridge for the transition of the train crew to the sidecar. The center distances of the bogies were relatively small, they only had an axle base of 2,150 mm.
1925 are for the under floor mounted double machinery Daimler - benzene motors indicated with 100 hp, 1933, the machinery as diesel was mechanically connected to a motor by Bussing designated. The mechanical gearbox corresponds to the Mylius type ; the gearbox was not known before the machine system was converted. Each drive system drove the inner wheelset of the two neighboring bogies.
