The two-axle railcar HEG T 1 of the Hoyaer Eisenbahn-Gesellschaft (HEG) was built in 1936 by the Gotha wagon factory in Gotha . The railcar was one of a series of 13 railcars made by the company for various railway companies with different technical data. The T 1 is available at the successor company Verkehrsbetriebe Grafschaft Hoya (VGH) until today (2019).

History and commitment

After the company of the Hoyaer Eisenbahn-Gesellschaft owned a steam railcar as early as 1890 , it procured its first diesel railcar in 1936 . It was a car based on a design that had been in use by various railways since 1933 . The new railcar was not only intended for use on the HEG but also on various routes around Eystrup . Right from the start, it was equipped with a pulling and buffing device for trailer operation.

The railcar with the serial number 2550 took its test drive around Gotha in December 1936 and was transferred to the HEG under its own power. Upon arrival, the car was put into service on the Hoya - Eystrup route . In the period before the Second World War, the railcar had two accidents on its main route in 1938 and 1942. While the accident damage in the first accident could be repaired in the Gotha wagon factory, the axle shaft was damaged in the second accident in 1942, it was lost during the repair in Gotha, so that the railcar was parked until a new axle shaft was made in 1948.

It was then used on its main line as well as on the routes of the German Federal Railroad to Verden – Langwedel or Nienburg – Stolzenau . Bremen , Hamburg , Bodenwerder and train stations on the Lüneburg Heath were regularly used for special trips . The railcar was taken over by Verkehrsbetriebe Grafschaft Hoya when the HEG merged. After the Hoya - Syke line had been changed to standard gauge , the railcar also ran here. The railcar was in regular service until 1972, after which it was only used occasionally as a railway service vehicle. This operation lasted until 1981, from 1976 the machinery was used up and the railcar could only be used as a trailer.

In 1984 the vehicle was faithfully refurbished by DEV . It was given back its original paintwork with the designation T 1 as well as the city coat of arms of Hoya and has since been used as a feeder to Bruchhausen-Vilsen on special trips from Eystrup or Syke . Since the railcar is permitted on the DB tracks , it is occasionally used for special trips. With the completion of the renovation work, DEV acquired a sidecar manufactured in 1936 by the Dessauer Waggonfabrik , which enabled the space to be increased.

Technical features / equipment

The railcar is very similar to the KWOe T2 . Just like the external dimensions, there is also the small side window on the front wall. The only obvious difference to the vehicles of the OHE is the equipment of the T 1 with sliding doors instead of revolving doors. A steel box frame was built on a steel frame that was clad on the outside with sheet metal, the rivets were sunk into the sheet metal. The otherwise straight side walls were drawn in at the head ends.

Between the entry areas with the driver's cabs, which also offered space for bicycles, was the compartment for travelers, separated by partition walls and sliding doors. The interior of the railcar was functional. The bench seats in a 3 + 2 arrangement were covered with thick plush upholstery, making them very comfortable. In the upper part the walls were clad with oak plywood, in the lower part with linoleum plywood. The floor was covered with linoleum . An underfloor hot water heating system Narag was used for heating, which could also be used to preheat the cooling water when starting the engine during the cold season.

On delivery, the drive system consisted of a four-cylinder four-stroke diesel engine with a four-speed Mylius gearbox , which was suspended from the underframe in a separate machine support frame; the engine protruded under the middle bench into the passenger compartment. A drive axle of the car was driven via a cardan shaft. The axle drive was connected to the reversing gear . As auxiliary equipment, the car was equipped with an electrical intermediate circuit of 24 V and a pneumatic system for the control of the indirect brake , the gearbox and the signal systems such as the typhon and the bell.

The railcar had inner-jaw drum brakes on both axles, they could be operated by hand or compressed air. A dead man's device was connected to the brake.
