The railcar KWW T 2 was a railcar of the Kleinbahn Wallwitz-Wettin . The railcar was procured in 1939 as a successor to the KWW T 1 , as its capacity no longer met the operational requirements.

The vehicle was given the designation T 14 by the small railroad department of the Provincial Association of Saxony . It was taken over by the Deutsche Reichsbahn in the GDR after the war as VT 135 541 and was given the new EDP designation 186 030-3 from 1970 . The vehicle is colloquially classified as a Großer Wettiner . It was in service until 1975. The vehicle is no longer there.

history

KWW T 2

With the increase in the number of passengers on the provincial Saxon branch lines, the Kleine Wettiners had reached the limits of their capabilities on their routes. As a result, the general administration in Merseburg commissioned Gottfried Lindner AG in Ammendorf to build an enlarged series of railcars with an axle base of 5.8 m, a length of 11 m and around 40 seats . The first two vehicles were put into operation at Kleinbahn Ellrich-Zorge and Delitzscher Kleinbahn AG in mid-1937, and in 1939 Delitzscher Kleinbahn AG, Langensalzaer Kleinbahn AG and Kleinbahn Wallwitz-Wettin each received a vehicle. When building the vehicles, the company had some special requests that were reflected in the price of the vehicle. The purchase price for the vehicle is given as 47,222.80 Reichsmarks .

From then on, this large Wettiner carried the main load on the small railway.

VT 135 541

After 1945 the car was designated as VT 135 541 and used at the Aschersleben depot . After 1955 the car was used for various routes in the Halberstadt depot .

186 030-3

After 1970 it was referred to as 186 030-3 and was based in Stendal . He was used very often, monthly mileage between 5,300 and 5,800 kilometers was still the norm. The 186 030-3 was the last of its type to be retired on July 30, 1975 after more than 45 years of service.

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, Dessauer Waggonfabrik and Lindner manufactured 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.
