The GHWE No. 61 was a diesel multiple unit of the Gardelegen-Haldensleben-Weferlinger Railway . It was manufactured in 1940 by the Dessauer Waggonfabrik .
The railcar was the twin-engine version of the GHWE No. 51 to 53 and its dimensions were similar to the state rail cars of the time, but significantly heavier than them. The railcar was taken over by the Deutsche Reichsbahn as VT 135 539 in 1949 and was given the new EDP designation 186 028-7 from 1970 . It is no longer there today.
history
GHWE 61
In 1940 this railcar was procured by the Gardelegen-Haldensleben-Weferlinger Eisenbahn as a follow-up vehicle to GHWE No. 51 to 53 . Like the vehicles delivered a year earlier, it was supposed to replace the GHWE T1-T9 double-decker rail buses, which had arisen from buses of the Berlin transport company and which had problems in operation. Compared to the wooden planked seats of the steam trains, the railcars had upholstered seats, which represented a significant increase in comfort. The vestibules of the railcars were designed as load compartments with a total of ten folding seats. The vehicle had a two-engine system, otherwise the other technical parameters were the same as the predecessors.
VT 135 539
The railcar was sufficiently motorized that it could be used in sidecar operation in operations. The railcar was taken over by the Deutsche Reichsbahn after 1950 and designated as VT 135 539 .
186 028-7
The vehicle was in use until the mid-1970s after it had received the EDP designation 186 028-7 . The vehicle was also used on the Salzwedeler Kleinbahnen . It was retired in mid-1976, a year later the vehicle was scrapped at the Wittenberge repair shop . Of the GHWE no. 51 to 53 , there is a model description.
Constructive features
The railcar, which was one of the largest railcars operated by small and private railways, had a 7,000 mm wheelbase and a length of 13,470 mm over buffers. It was designed for sufficient load transport in the vestibules; the vestibules had external doors with a clear width of 750 mm, which could be enlarged to a clear width of 1000 mm using additional wall parts that could be folded out. The entrance area at the rear in the direction of travel was used as an additional luggage and load space. For this, the drive switch could be locked with a roller shutter.
The diesel-mechanical machine system originally consisted of two Daimler-Benz OM 67/3s and, after a modification that was not known at the time, an EM 6-20 from the Schönebeck tractor factory and the Mylius transmission . Before the conversion, both axles were driven with a Mylius gearbox each. In the meantime, sufficiently powerful motors were available to dispense with the complicated double machine system. The railcar had 56 seats.
