The railcar KWW T 1 was a railcar of the Kleinbahn Wallwitz – Wettin . 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 KWW T 1 railcar is one of the first vehicles in the so-called Wettin railcar . It was later given the designation T 1 by the small railroad department of the Provincial Association of Saxony . The railcar was taken over by the Deutsche Reichsbahn as VT 135 550 in 1949 and was given the new EDP designation 186 019-6 from 1970 . The vehicle was active until the 1970s.
history
Since the benzene-mechanical railcars on the approximately ten-kilometer-long Wallwitz – Wettin small railroad could not be used economically, the small railroad department of the Provincial Association of Saxony and other small railways commissioned the development of a railcar for short distances that could compete with the emerging bus traffic. This vehicle was developed by Waggon- und Maschinenbau Görlitz Görlitz and at the same time was offered for sale to other small railways. For operation on the Wallwitz – Wettin Kleinbahn , the vehicles were fitted with lightweight towing and bumpers right from the start so that they could carry a sidecar. The Kleinbahn Bebitz – Alsleben and the Obereichsfelder Kleinbahn received vehicles of the same type from WUMAG .
In test drives, the vehicle was able to convince in terms of performance and consumption. In addition, it was equipped with a dead man's device and could therefore be used in one-man operation . The car was convincing with travelers due to its equipment. By installing upholstered seats with armrests, travel comfort was much higher than in the wooden class of steam trains. The railcar soon reached its performance limit due to the increasing number of passengers, which led to the acquisition of a larger vehicle, the KWW T 2 . The T1 was henceforth only used yet in the peak periods.
The T1 had a collision with a bus in September 1938, which pushed the railcar off the track but did not destroy it.
The railcar was taken over by the Deutsche Reichsbahn after 1950 and designated as VT 135 525 . At first it was used on its regular route. The log book of the VT 135 525 has been completely preserved. It shows the use of the railcar at eight different locations. Primarily he was deployed in the RBD Magdeburg , from February 1967 to June 1967 he was deployed at the Dresden railway depot . From the end of the 1950s, there were enough old state railway vehicles with increased capacity available for service on the former main line. In addition, the new VT 2.09 series appeared from 1962
The VT 135 525 was z-provided in May 1972 after it had received the new EDP number 186 019-6 . It was retired in 1974 and scrapped in March 1975. There are memories of the vehicle through photos in the literature.
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 with 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.
