The KBA T 1 railcar was a railcar of the Kleinbahn Bebitz – Alsleben .

It was procured for operation on the small railroad because the DWK benzene multiple units previously used here could not be used economically on the short distance . The KBA T 1 railcar is one of the first vehicles in the so-called Wettin railcar . It was later given the designation T 2 by the small railroad department of the Provincial Association of Saxony . The railcar was initially designated as VT 133 508 by the Deutsche Reichsbahn in 1949 . In 1952 this designation was changed to VT 135 549 . From 1970 it was given the EDP designation 186 035-2 . The vehicle was active until the 1970s and is no longer available today.

history

KBA T 1

The railcar manufactured by WUMAG Görlitz was put into service in March 1935 by the Kleinbahn Bebitz – Alsleben .

Since the benzene-mechanical railcars could not be used economically on the approximately ten kilometer long Bebitz – Alsleben small railroad, the small railroad department of the Provincial Association of Saxony and other small railways commissioned the development of a railcar for short distances to compete with the emerging bus traffic . This vehicle was developed by WUMAG Görlitz and at the same time was offered for sale to other small railways. For operation on the Kleinbahn Bebitz – Alsleben , the vehicles were fitted with pulling and buffing equipment of the lightweight design right from the start in order to be able to transport a sidecar. The Kleinbahn Wallwitz – Wettin and the Obereichsfelder Kleinbahn received vehicles of the same design from WUMAG .

By using the railcar, the traffic on the Kleinbahn Bebitz – Alsleben could be extended via the previous end point to the end point Alsleben (Saale) Stadtmühle , which is about one kilometer away . The railcar was very popular with travelers, who expressed themselves with the name Fliegender Beblitzer . Due to the equipment of the railcar, the number of passengers rose again from 1935 onwards. The KBA T1 carried almost all traffic on the route mentioned until 1946. The total mileage during this period was 232,134 kilometers.

The railcar had to be parked in 1946 due to a break in the engine's crankshaft . To repair it, they made do with welding the defective shaft, which only lasted a few weeks. It was not until 1949 that the vehicle could be fitted with a new engine and returned to operation.

VT 133 508

The vehicle was wrongly classified as VT 133 508 by the DR . This classification raises the question of whether the vehicle might not have had a pulling and buffing device at the time it was redesigned and whether it was named analogously to the Wismar rail buses .

VT 135 549

In 1952 this error was corrected and the vehicle was designated as VT 135 549 . The railcar has been in service in Aschersleben since 1950 and in Alsleben from 1951 . The vehicle was also used in the Halberstadt depot , where it was parked in 1969.

186 035-2

Formally, the vehicle still had the EDP designation 186 035-2 , but the vehicle was retired and scrapped as early as 1971.

Constructive features

The railcar was one of a series of railcars for the small railways in the province of Saxony, of which Waggon- und Maschinenbau Görlitz (WUMAG) in Görlitz had created the design in 1933. This vehicle belonged to a series of four railcars that were manufactured by WUMAG .

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. For this they initially had no pulling and pushing device. For the sidecar operation as with the KWW , they were later provided with light pulling and bumpers. As a braking device they had a one-way brake of the Knorr type , which was intended for a sidecar operation. The axles were only braked on one side. The drive axle was sent. The interior was divided into the passenger compartment and the two driver's cabs. These were separated from each other 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 37 upholstered seats with armrests, an improvement in travel comfort at the time. Due to the short distance, there is no toilet.

The vehicle was powered by a four-cylinder four-stroke diesel engine OM 65 from Mercedes-Benz . In the 1950s, the worn out original engine was replaced by a replacement engine from the Kombinat Industrieverband Fahrzeugbau (IFA). 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.
