The KOK T2 combustion railcar for the Osterode – Kreiensen district was built in 1954 by the Talbot wagon factory . After the cessation of operations on its main line, the railcar was used on various museum railways in Austria and Germany. After staying with the Döllnitzbahn since 1992 . he has been in the Rügen Oldtimer Museum since 2002 .
History and commitment
Osterode – Kreiensen circuit
To support the KOK T1 , the Osterode – Kreiensen district railway acquired a second railcar in 1954 in order to make passenger traffic more economical.
Since the railcar was equipped with two machine systems and all axles were driven, it was used for both passenger and freight transport, where it had to cope with high train loads and considerable gradients of up to 25 ‰. As passenger traffic was increasingly shifted to the street, the vehicle was only left with school traffic. In 1967 all operations on the line were stopped.
Zillertal Railway
In 1968 the railcar came to the Zillertalbahn Jenbach - Mayrhofen , where it was also designated as T2 . In the beginning it was painted blue / cream and later red / light brown. He was used for 16 years, with the procurement of newer vehicles he was assigned to the reserve service and a new owner was sought.
Museum railways in Germany
In 1985 the railcar was handed over to the Museum des Öchsle , which was under construction , which was then passed on to the Döllnitzbahn in 1992 . In 2002 the railcar came to the Rügen Railway & Technology Museum.
Constructive design
The railcar, designed according to a modular system, is very modern. While the majority of Talbot narrow-gauge railcars were manufactured for meter gauge , this is the only known vehicle for the 750 mm gauge. The car body was made of lightweight frame construction; the vehicle ends are beveled and rounded at the ends. As a result, the side front windows are rounded. The lightweight construction was revised compared to the pre-war construction. There were no window pockets, which reduced problems with the rust protection. The windows are divided into two parts. The lower part is made of fixed glazing, at 3/4 height there are movable window parts that can be folded inwards. The large entry areas could be used as luggage space at the rear. The driver's workplace was in the middle, and through the front he had a good view of the route. There are three-leaf folding doors on both sides at each end of the vehicle. Compared to the vehicles of the meter gauge, which occasionally had medium entrances, these were omitted from the KOK T2 .
The machinery was well designed for the requirements of a mountainous route; it consisted of two eight-cylinder four-stroke diesel engines from KHD and two Mylius transmissions. All wheels of the vehicle could be driven by means of cardan shafts. The wagons were also equipped with electrical lighting with 24 V voltage, warning whistles, bells, indirect brakes and the pulling and bumpers used on the narrow-gauge railway with central buffers and the side pulling hooks. The car was also equipped with a loudspeaker system. Several roof fans were used for ventilation and a Webasto heating system to heat the car . Originally the paint was red / yellow, later paintwork was carried out by the respective museum railways.
