The railway company Langelandsbanen operated the Rudkøbing – Bagenkop and Skrøbelev – Spodsbjerg routes on Langeland from 1911 to 1962 . The section Skrøbelev - Spodsbjerg was considered a branch line, although the entire route Rudkøbing - Spodsbjerg was very important for traffic. Together with the Svendborg – Rudkøbing and Spodsbjerg– Nakskov ferry connections , this was the connection between Fyn and Lolland .
In 1911, three steam locomotives with the designation LB 1-3 were purchased from Henschel & Sohn in Kassel . With a long-term perspective, passenger traffic was to be operated with the LB M 1 steam multiple unit - the first in Denmark - bought in the same year from Arlöfs Mekaniska Verkstad & Waggonfabrik in Arlöv, Sweden .
However, the steam railcar did not work satisfactorily and had to be replaced by another steam locomotive, the LB 4 , as early as 1914 . Over the years, the LB M 1–5 railcars were added .
history
LB M 1-2
In 1926, the two gasoline railcars with the numbers LB M 1–2 were procured from Triangel with the construction numbers 969 and 970. Due to their speed of 60 km / h, further stops could be set up.
Both vehicles were equipped with a six-cylinder gasoline engine from Continental with 100 hp, and the power was transmitted via a mechanical three-speed gearbox. They weighed twelve tons, had a length of 10.82 meters and 43 seats.
M 1 was in use until 1962 and was retired that year. It was sold to the Dansk Jernbane Klub (DJK) for 2,600 kroner . In 1963 and 1964, the multiple unit ran museum trains on the Maribo – Bandholm (MBJ) museum railway . In 1991 it was passed on to Øst Sjællands Jernbane Klub (ØSJK) and used for DSB Museumstog from 1995 . The railcar was stationed in Næstved from 2007 to 2017 for the museum train . In 2017 it was transferred to the open-air museum of the Danish National Museum and installed in the Frilandsmuseet ved Sorgenfri in Lyngby .
M 2 was parked and retired in 1959 after an engine failure. The scrapping took place in 1963 at Odense Produktforretning .
LB M 3-4
In 1929 and 1931 one passenger car each from Triangle was converted to the other LB M 3-4 railcars .
The B 11 passenger car with a center distance of 6.60 meters was used as a donor vehicle for the M 3 . Triangel (De Forenede Automobilfabrikker) in Odense equipped it in 1929 with a six-cylinder gasoline engine from Continental with 120 hp. The B 11 was bought from Scandia in Randers in 1911 for 9,075 crowns. It had five compartments, a toilet and electric lighting. He received a steam heating line, compressed air brake, coke-fired hot water heating system and roller bearings during an investigation in 1926.
During the Second World War , the vehicle received a gas generator in September 1941, which was in use until 1945. The engine was replaced in 1956 by a six-cylinder diesel engine from Leyland with 150 hp. After a fire in 1949, it was completely rebuilt. The M 3 was retired in 1962 and scrapped at Odense Produktforretning in 1963 . The engine was sold to Gribskovbanens Drift Selskab (GDS).
The B 12 passenger car with a center distance of 6.60 meters was used as a donor vehicle for the M 4 . Triangel (De Forenede Automobilfabrikker) in Odense equipped it in 1931 with a MAN petrol engine with 145 hp. The B 12 was bought from Scandia in Randers in 1911 for 9,075 crowns. It had five compartments, a toilet and electric lighting. He received a steam heater and a compressed air brake during an investigation in 1926.
In March 1941, the vehicle received a gas generator that was in use until 1945. In 1953 the engine was exchanged for a 150 hp Leyland diesel engine. The M 4 led on 29 September 1962, C 22 the last train of the Lollandsbane of Rudkøbing. It was retired in 1962 and scrapped at Odense Produktforretning in 1963 . The engine was sold to Gribskovbanens Drift Selskab (GDS).
LB M 5
In 1956, the company bought another LB M 5 multiple unit from the closed Ryomgård – Gjerrild – Grenå Jernbane (RGGJ).
The railcar built by Triangel in 1929 was built as an M 2 for the Horsens – Bryrup – Silkeborg Jernbane (HBS), which passed it on to the RGGJ in 1952. There it was sorted as M 5 , so that no renumbering was necessary when it was taken over.
When it was delivered, it had a 105 hp petrol engine, which was replaced at RGGJ in 1952 by an eight-cylinder rail bus engine from Frichs with 160 hp.
As a rule, the railcar was used for shunting tasks and light freight trains. The M 5 was retired in 1962 and scrapped by Odense Produktforretning in 1963 .
