The Genthiner Kleinbahn T 3 railcar of the Kleinbahn-AG in Genthin was purchased in 1939 as the company's third railcar.

The vehicle was given the designation T 13 by the small railroad department of the Provincial Association of Saxony . After the war it was taken over by the Deutsche Reichsbahn in the GDR as VT 135 540 and from 1970 onwards it was given the new EDP designation 186 029-5 . The vehicle is colloquially classified as a Großer Wettiner . It was in operational service until 1974. The vehicle was still available in the vehicle technology department Dessau in 2014 as a special vehicle without drive .

history

Genthiner Kleinbahn T 3

This vehicle was procured from Kleinbahn-AG in Genthin as the third railcar. The company already had two vehicles, both of which were manufactured by the Dessauer Waggonfabrik . The first was too weak with its 65 hp for towing a trailer, the second had 95 hp. This vehicle proved itself, but it wasn't until 1939 that the company had the means to procure the third vehicle , the GeK T 3 . Two vehicles of the GeK T 3 type had already gone into operation in 1937 at Delitzscher Kleinbahn AG and Kleinbahn Ellrich-Zorge . Two years later, three vehicles followed at Kleinbahn-AG in Genthin, Langensalzaer Kleinbahn AG and Kleinbahn Wallwitz-Wettin .

Since there are no technical data on the GeK T 3 in the literature , those from the great Wettiner on the Wallwitz – Wettin railway line were chosen as the basis. Individual data can therefore differ from GeK T 3 .

VT 135 540

The car, designated after the war as the VT 135 540 , was mainly used in the RBD Magdeburg after 1950 . The railcar was here until 1960. On January 1, 1965, the vehicle was stationed in Luckau , and on January 1, 1970 Cottbus was also the last place of use. The railcar was parked here in 1972 and retired two years later. After being taken out of service, it is said to have been used as a measuring vehicle with an unknown number in Cottbus until the end of the 1990s. Except for the three front windows, the car corresponds to the manufactured railcars by Lindner with a 5.8 m wheelbase. In 2014 the vehicle could still be seen at Fahrzeugtechnik Dessau . In 2018, the vehicle is now in a very poor condition in the Dessau Railcar Museum .

Constructive features

The railcar belonged to a series of railcars for provincial Saxon small railways, of which Waggon- und Maschinenbau Görlitz in Görlitz had created the design as early as 1933. As a result, WUMAG, Waggonbau Dessau and Lindner produced several vehicles for these small railways.

The underframe and the box frame, which was clad on the outside with 1.5 mm thick sheet metal, consisted of electrically welded structural steel profiles. The vehicles were designed as solo vehicles. In return, they initially had no pulling and buffing equipment . For the sidecar operation, they were later provided with light pulling and bumpers. As a braking device, he had a single-release Knorr type brake , which was intended for use with a sidecar. The axles were only braked on one side. The drive axle was sanded with compressed air. The interior was divided into the passenger compartment and the two driver's cabs. They were separated from one another by partitions and revolving doors. The floor was made of pine wood covered with linoleum. The machine system could be serviced via flaps in the floor. The vehicle had 35 upholstered seats with armrests, an improvement in travel comfort at the time. In contrast to the vehicles of the Kleine Wettiner , the vehicle had a toilet.

The vehicle was powered by the six-cylinder four-stroke diesel engine OM 54 from Mercedes-Benz . In the 1950s, the worn out original motors were replaced by the EM 6-20 motor from the Schönebeck motor factory . The power was transmitted via the Mylius gearbox and an axle reversing gearbox, which was provided with a torque bracket. The vehicle was heated by a warm water heater, which was designed in such a way that the interior of the vehicle could be heated to +20 ° C at an outside temperature of −20 ° C.
