history
It was designed by František Křižík , the car body was made by Ringhoffer in Prague . The first two cars (40.001 and 002) were built in 1903. In 1905 and 1908 two more cars were purchased from the same manufacturers (40.003 and 004). The last delivered wagons differed in details from the first delivered ones (see table).
The vehicles remained on their original route even after the First World War , ie they came to ČSD after 1918 , which they designated as M 400.001–004 .
Initially, the railcars were operated with the 1.4 kV direct current power system. From 1929 the voltage was switched to the 1.5 kV direct current power system, which also resulted in a conversion of the railcars.
In 1931–1932 and 1937–1938, the railcars were fundamentally rebuilt. Until 1953, they operated both passenger and freight traffic on their main route. The M 400.004 car was retired in 1937.
In 1956, the E 422.0 series locomotives were delivered, which resulted in the M 400.002 (1961) and M 400.003 (1974) cars being retired. The M 400.001 railcar was built on the chassis of the M 400.003 and renumbered.
In 1971 it was subjected to further workshop repairs, with a new driver's desk, a new braking system, a new headlight and new pantographs, which gave the vehicle its historic appearance. Since then, it has been used regularly on its main route as an operational museum vehicle of the National Technical Museum in Prague .
