The MÁV series M63 was a six-axle diesel locomotive , developed in 1970 and delivered to Magyar Államvasutak (MÁV) in ten copies by 1975 , which was intended for heavy express and passenger train service. The locomotives were in use until the beginning of the 1990s and were then taken out of service. The M63.003 has been preserved in the Budapest Railway Park .

history

The locomotive appeared at the same time as the DR class V 300 . Since MAV did not procure any vehicles from this series, the M63 series , like the ČSD series T 499.0, is to be regarded as a national in-house development by Ganz-MÁVAG, contrary to the guidelines of the Council for Mutual Economic Aid.

The locomotives were equipped with electric train heating so that they could be used in passenger train service. Originally, the locomotive was intended for freight and passenger trains on main lines , it is mentioned that they were initially used very often in front of high-quality long-distance express trains. Two prototypes were delivered in 1970, and series production of the M 63.003 began in 1975 . The preserved M 63.003 was built in 1975 by Ganz with the serial number 1764 , the commissioning took place on August 28, 1975. It was retired on December 13, 1990. It was stationed in Budapest-Ferencváros and later in Szombathely , where a reconstruction was carried out. The two prototypes M 63.001 and M 63.002 were in operation a little longer ; they were not taken out of service until 1991.

technical description

The design of the appealing locomotive has two end driver's cabs and the engine room in between. Like all diesel locomotives that were modern at the time, the M 63 had an entry area separated from the driver's cab in order to provide more noise protection for the locomotive driver. In the engine room, the cooling system, diesel engine and electrical equipment were set up separately from one another.

The engine used was an eighteen-cylinder four-stroke diesel engine with an output of 2,700 hp, which was produced by Ganz under license from SEMT Pielstick . The cylinders had a bore of 185 millimeters and a stroke of 210 millimeters. The engine was operated with an exhaust gas turbocharger and started with compressed air. The power transmission was diesel-electric in mixed current technology, a three-phase asynchronous machine was flanged to the diesel engine as the main generator, from which the DC traction motors received electricity via rectifiers . The motors in the bogie were DC series motors connected in parallel . The motors were controlled via the controllable rectifier via a bridge circuit . In the main generator, an auxiliary generator and the generator for the train heating were arranged on a rotor. Two locomotives could be controlled from one driver's cab using the multiple controls.
