The Kleinbahn Bielstein – Waldbröl 32 was a railcar that was procured by Kleinbahn Bielstein – Waldbröl and, after 1957 , was used primarily as a towing vehicle on various railway lines by the Deutsche Eisenbahn-Betriebsgesellschaft (DEBG) . He has served 40 years and is no longer available today.

history

The railcar was procured by Kleinstein – Waldbröl as the second railcar after a vehicle with wood gas drive . This enabled freight traffic to be separated from passenger traffic after the line speed was also increased to 40 km / h. This brought a noticeable increase in passenger traffic.

In the period before the Second World War, the railcar carried the bulk of the passenger traffic until procurement difficulties made the delivery of diesel fuel impossible. On February 13, 1945, traffic with the T 32 was resumed. Operation on the Bielstein – Waldbröl small railway lasted until 1954.

In 1957 the railcar was taken over by the Deutsche Eisenbahn-Betriebsgesellschaft and used on their lines. In addition to the relatively powerful motorization, the railcar was equipped with a safety driving circuit and was approved for use on federal railroad tracks. He was employed at the companies Vorwohle-Emmerthaler Eisenbahn-Gesellschaft , Wiesloch – Meckesheim / Waldangelloch , Kandertalbahn , Krebsbachtalbahn and Achertalbahn . In 1963, the railcar with several of the lines was included in the portfolio of SWEG Südwestdeutsche Landesverkehrs-AG . He finished his service on the Harmersbachtalbahn . The railcar was parked there in 1974 and scrapped in 1980.

Constructive features

With the railcar, there is the possibility of enlarging the outer doors from 750 mm clear width to 1000 mm clear width using additional fold-out wall parts.

The underframe and the car body were a Görlitz construction, which was manufactured in a welded construction in the so-called frame construction and clad on the outside with 1.5 millimeter thick sheet metal. The interior was divided into the passenger compartment (divided smoker / non-smoker compartment) and the two entry areas with driver's cabs. They were separated from one another by partitions and revolving doors. There is no toilet in the original version. The windows in the passenger compartment had fixed glazing and skylights, and casement windows were installed in the entrance doors. Otherwise the windows were made with fixed glazing. The floor was made of pine wood covered with linoleum. The machine system could be serviced via flaps in the floor.

The machinery was arranged under the floor, it had an output of 2 × 130 HP and consisted of a six-cylinder four-stroke diesel engine KHD A6M417, each connected to a Mylius gearbox . The position of the engines was a little off-center, they protruded into the passenger compartment. These were covered by a bench. 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. The heater could be used to preheat the engine cooling water to a temperature of 70 ° C.

The railcar later received heating from Webasto . He had a one-way brake of the Knorr type , which was intended for use with a sidecar. Originally the railcar was painted red / beige in the railcar color, at DEBG it was given a monochrome red paintwork.
