The Frankfurt type from the Wismar wagon factory was a narrow-gauge, four-axle lightweight diesel multiple unit of which nine were built.
history
Waggonfabrik Wismar relied on lightweight construction in railcar construction and offered various railcars for this.
Of the Frankfurt type alone, five were built for the United Small Railways (VKA), whose headquarters were named Frankfurt am Main. Three of them went to the Kleinbahn Bremen – Tarmstedt , one each to the Euskirchener Kreisbahnen , which came to the Kleinbahn Bremen – Tarmstedt in 1950, and the Geilenkirchener Kreisbahn (GKB). Additional copies ordered the Emden-Pewsum-Greetsiel Light Railway , the circular path empty Aurich-Wittmund that Kleinbahn Hoya Syke Asendorf that Steinhude-Bahn and the rainforests Kleinbahnen . A standard gauge version was offered as the Mosel type .
As with the rail buses from the same manufacturer, the focus was on consistent lightweight construction and assemblies from the automotive industry were adopted. A total of three types were advertised, the longer type A (with a large luggage compartment) and type B (with toilet or more seats), both with a centrally located underfloor engine, wheel alignment (1A) (A1) and the shorter type C, initially with a front engine , wheel alignment B'2 'built, later with underfloor engine wheel arrangement (1A) (A1). The seats were padded and covered with leather. A hot water heater fed from the outside was arranged under the floor.
In most railcars, the engine was mounted in the middle under the frame, from where the inner axle of the bogie was driven via a cardan shaft . A Mylius gearbox was used for shifting . The dead man's brake was also new .
Emden-Pewsum-Greetsiel T 1
The first railcar delivered was the shorter version, it was used from 1934 to 1963 on the Emden – Pewsum – Greetsiel district and from 1963 to 1981 on the Spiekerooger Inselbahn . It then came to the Deutsche Bundesbahn (DB) as the class 699 , from which it was used between 1981 and 1992 on the meter-gauge Wangeroog Island Railway . For a while, this railcar was the oldest DB vehicle (built in 1933). It supported the existing locomotives on Wangerooge as a reinforcement vehicle and was used alone when there was little passenger traffic. Today it belongs to the inventory of the German Railway Association in Bruchhausen-Vilsen under the designation T45 . The T45 is currently stored there and is not operational. In 1965/1966 the railcar was rebuilt at Schöma ; he received a more powerful engine and a hydrodynamic Voith -Diwabus gearbox instead of the mechanical gearbox . The radiator grille , which had been on one side since 1950, was also enlarged, which gave the engine front its characteristic appearance, and one-piece front windows were installed.
Geilenkirchener Kreisbahn T 100
The GKB T 100 railcar, which was converted into a tow car in 1959/60, is parked at the Selfkantbahn .
Bremen-Tarmstedt
In 1934 the Kleinbahn Bremen – Tarmstedt got its first railcar of this type, T1. It was the short version that still had a front engine and a three-part windshield. Another model followed in 1935, the T2 - also in a short version, but with an underfloor engine and only two-part windshield. In 1937 the T3 was built, which largely corresponded to the type B, and another type A railcar, which was initially used on the Euskirchener Kreisbahnen and only came to Bremen in 1950, where it was in operation as the T4. After the Bremen – Tarmstedt small railroad was discontinued in 1956, one short and one long railcar each came to the Härtsfeldbahn and the Amstetten – Laichingen line .
PATH
The Wuerttemberg Railway Company with the Amstetten – Laichingen line also brought the type A railcar, which was originally used in Euskirchen. It was designated as the T34, was converted into a tow railcar with two engines by Fuchs in 1960 and given a new body by Auwärter . The shorter railcar only served as a spare parts donor until it was scrapped in 1961. The T34, on the other hand, is still there and is waiting for the Albbähnle Museum Railway to be reconditioned .

At the Härtsfeldbahn, the longer railcar was used as the T32 until it was discontinued in 1972 and then scrapped. The shorter one, known as the T33, was rebuilt similar to the WEG T34 in 1960 - but only with a single engine - and was completed in 1964. After being hired in 1973, he came to Laichingen, where he served as a spare parts donor. In 1985 he came back to the Härtsfeld Museum Railway. There it was worked up and is on duty.
Regenwalder Bahnen T 1
The railcar of the Regenwalder Kleinbahn T 1 in Pomerania , delivered in 1939, corresponded to type B with a few deviations, but there were also similarities with the MEG T12 and T13 . It had a slightly higher car body with 850 mm high windows, a toilet and 40 permanent seats in two compartments (smoker / non-smoker). He had an engine of the type MB OM 67/3. This enabled him to reach a top speed of 55 km / h. In 1940 it received the PLB No. 1128. In 1945 it was taken over by the PKP and was given the designation Mx 355. In 1945 the engine was removed and it was probably used as a sidecar on the Warsaw supply railways. It was rebuilt in the early 1950s, it was given leather seats in a 1 + 3 arrangement and two longitudinal seats above the new engine in the middle of the car. The partition walls to the entry area and between the compartments were omitted, instead the driver's cabs were given separate partition walls. A Fiat Type 368 with 92 kW (125 PS) was used as the engine. From 1954 he was deployed from Gryfice (Greifenberg), from 1961 as MBxd1-355. In 1968 the drive train was renewed, a Star S-53 motor and a new mechanical gearbox were installed, the drive only worked on one axle. Since 1973 he was between Białogard and Koszalin ( Köslin-Belgarder Bahnen ) in use, in 1974 he received a computer number. In 1978 the worn bogies were exchanged for those of a decommissioned railcar from the Warsaw supply railways. In 1985 he was turned off. In 1986 it was handed over to the Warsaw Railway Museum. It is now at the Gryfice narrow-gauge railway museum , but is not part of the exhibition.
The other railcars in Germany were scrapped in 1967/68.
