The railcars LAG No. 501–505 were four-axle electric railcars of the Lokalbahn Aktien-Gesellschaft (LAG) for various railway lines of the company in standard gauge . When the lines were taken over by the Deutsche Reichsbahn, they were designated as ET 183 01–05 . Due to the closure or dieselization of the main routes, the operational requirements for the vehicles changed at the end of the 1950s. One vehicle has been preserved to this day and is in the German Museum of Technology in Berlin .

history

The LAG operated several branch lines in southern Germany , which they electrified and operated with railcars before 1900. These vehicles were created in 1899, with the railcars 501–504 differing only slightly from the 505.

The vehicles were used on the Isar Valley Railway and the Bad Aibling – Feilnbach local railway . With the re- electrification in 1959 and shutdown, the ET 183 01 to 183 04 railcars were retired in 1959, the ET 183 05 was put on the Meckenbeuren – Tettnang line . In 1962 this vehicle was retired. However, it has been preserved as a museum and can be viewed in the German Museum of Technology in Berlin.

Technical design

The vehicles were equipped with a pulling and buffing device and were suitable for the transport of individual sidecars. They had four axles, the inner axle of a bogie was driven by pin-bearing traction motors. While the electrical equipment of Brown, Boveri & Cie. (BBC), the 505 had electrical equipment from BBC and Siemens-Schuckertwerke .

The car body floor plan was designed similar to that of the passenger cars of the Royal Bavarian State Railways . The entry areas at the ends of the vehicle were drawn in, and it also had an off-center, drawn-in double door. In 1925, the 505 car was modified, especially on the side doors on the end faces. Before the start of its last assignment on the Meckenbeuren – Tettnang railway line, car 505 was rebuilt again; the retracted middle doors were replaced by large sliding doors that were flush with the outer wall.
