The railcar Kleinbahn Osterburg – Pretzier T 2 was a vehicle of the Kleinbahn Osterburg – Pretzier .

It was procured for operation on the small railroad, as a DWK benzene railcar had been in use on this route since 1925 and operations were to be further rationalized after the outbreak of the global economic crisis . The T 2 is considered to be one of the first vehicles of the so-called Wettiner railcars produced by Gottfried Lindner AG in Ammendorf . It was later given the designation T 4 by the small railway department of the Provincial Association of Saxony . The railcar was initially designated as VT 135 544 by the Deutsche Reichsbahn in the GDR in 1949 . From 1970 it was given the EDP designation 186 032-9 .

history

After the first Kleine Wettiners achieved good results on the railways of the small railroad department of the Provincial Association of Saxony, other private railways wanted to order railcars of this configuration in order to operate economically.

Immediate further procurement was delayed because the small railroad department and the manufacturer could not agree on the price for the vehicles. An agreement was only reached with the Lindner company in Ammendorf after negotiations. In order not to infringe the patent rights of Waggon- und Maschinenbau Görlitz (WUMAG), the vehicles had to be designed differently. This affected areas of the interior design, the front section and the roof area.

The railcar, together with the DWK railcar , which had since been converted into a diesel railcar, served as passenger traffic on this route. The requirements on this route were not high, the maximum gradient was 10 ‰, so that the railcar could be observed with a four-axle sidecar. After the Second World War and after the nationalization of the small railway, the vehicle continued to be used on its regular route. From 1950 the railcar designated as VT 135 544 was based at the Stendal depot . It must have been used on many routes of the former Altmärkische Kleinbahn .

In 1971 the VT 135 544 was decommissioned after it had received the EDP designation 186 032-9 , the scrapping took place in 1972. Some recordings have been preserved 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 was one of four that were built by Lindner in Ammendorf. Externally, the Lindner vehicles can be distinguished from those from WUMAG by the different roof shape and the headlights .

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 Osterburg-Pretzier small railway, they were later fitted 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 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.
