The unit railcars DR 135 061 ... 132 are developed in the 1930s railcars - series of German Railway for passenger transport on branch lines . Two of them were built as light railcars .
history
.jpg)
The development of the unit railcar was based on a type program of the Deutsche Reichsbahn from the mid-1930s. With this all previously procured two-axle railcars , prototypes and pre- series should be replaced. The railcar was developed by MAN and delivered in 64 units from 1937 to 1938 as 135 061-064, 067-076 and 083-132. The drive was arranged entirely in a support frame , which was supported on the wheelsets . The diesel engine protruded into the car body and was covered with a folding bench. The gear set reversing gear was driven by a cardan shaft. The railcars had a four-stage Mylius transmission . The fan was arranged on the side under the car body. Later, the railcars also received an RZM safety driving circuit . Due to the war, there were not only attempts with wood and liquid gas drives, but also a conversion of the cooling water air heating into a coke-fired heating system.
The passenger compartment had a toilet. At the engine-side driver's cab, the entry area was enlarged to form a luggage compartment, there were sliding doors here. There were folding doors at the other end.
The use of these standard railcars in large numbers was prevented by the Second World War and the reorientation to four-axle railcars.
DB VT 70.9
30 of the vehicles ended up in the inventory of the Deutsche Bundesbahn (DB), where they were listed as VT 70.9 from 1949. At DB, the railcars were initially distributed over many depots from Hamburg-Altona to Munich Hbf, until they were concentrated in a few depots in Bavaria from 1957
DR 186.0 to 186.2
Ten railcars remained in the inventory of the Deutsche Reichsbahn (DR) in the GDR , eight of which were put back into service. From 1970 they were classified in the series 186.0 to 186.2.
ČSD 140 001–004
Five vehicles came to the Czechoslovak State Railways (ČSD) in 1945 : 135 067, 135 072, 135 073, 135 090 were classified as M.140 001–004. 135 117 was not unnumbered and was retired in 1945.
LLK VT 02
The AG local railway Lam Kötzting 1939 (LLK) acquired a similar vehicle as VT 02. In the years 1960 and 1963 a total of four railcars were purchased second-hand from the DB. Two of them were put into operation, while the others served as spare parts dispensers.
Received vehicles
The railcars 135 069 ( DFS , Ebermannstadt), 135 071 ( Darmstadt-Kranichstein ) and 135 110 ( DB Museum Halle (Saale) ) as well as the LLK 02 at the Bavarian Local Railway Association have been preserved .
Lightweight design
The railcar 135 065 and 066 had a deviating Hydronalium -Wagenkasten (a high-strength aluminum - magnesium - alloy ), together with a light metal - transmission lowered the empty weight of 16.4 to 12.3 t. They were classified as VT 70 970 and 971 on the Deutsche Bundesbahn.
The two cars were in use until the mid-1960s; the VT 70 970 was decommissioned on October 21, 1960 in Nuremberg . The VT 70 971 was based in Bamberg . The retirement took place in the same year, it was still in 1965 in the former AW Munich-Freimann .
With regard to the material used, both test railcars and the HBE T 1 have proven their worth. In an investigation carried out at the Bundesbahn-Zentralamt in Munich , practically no traces of corrosion were found, although the two VT 135s were not painted even after the war. Only the processing as a rivet construction was not optimally solved.
sidecar
In 1937 and 1938, Talbot built 80 sidecars for the railcars. Ten sidecars (VB 140 250-259) had a small mail room opposite the toilet, and all doors opened outwards. The other sidecars (VB 140 260–329) had a larger mail room with sliding doors at the end, as with the railcars. The seat division was 2 + 3 in both types, the first series had 39 permanent seats and seven folding seats , the second series 41 seats and nine folding seats.
Nine wagons from the first series came to the DB, seven of which were put back into service. They were taken out of service by 1963, but three of them were sold to private railways. Of the second series, 33 cars remained with the DB, 30 were put back into service, they were retired by 1966, six were sold to private railways. The VB 140 321 is now at the Franconian Switzerland Steam Railway . Six sidecars came to the DR, they were retired by May 1968, the VB 140, 260 and 263 remained. Two sidecars were taken over by the ÖBB, they had the numbers BT 7640.01 and 02, in 1963 they were retired. The remaining sidecars were lost or destroyed in the war.
