The MEG T11 combustion railcar of the Mittelbadische Eisenbahn-Gesellschaft (MEG) was a diesel-mechanical railcar from the Dessauer Waggonfabrik with the wheel arrangement (1A) (A1).
It was procured because the five MEG T 1 to T 8 series railcars that had previously been discontinued had proven themselves in operation and a larger series was required. The MEG T11 was converted into a sidecar in 1943 and used in this form until the end of the narrow-gauge network. In 1971 the vehicle was scrapped.
history
The T 1 to T 8, some of which had previously been procured from the Gotha wagon factory, were no longer sufficient to cope with the increasing traffic of the Mittelbadische Eisenbahn-Gesellschaft . That is why the T11 was manufactured by the Dessau wagon factory in 1936 . It was built according to the same design principles as the Gothaer wagons with tapered end walls, platforms and access doors, but had a double machine system and was designed with four axles and two bogies.
The greater power meant that the railcar could carry two sidecars. However, engine and transmission malfunctions have frequently occurred during operation.
The drive systems of the T11 were removed during World War II . From then on it was used as a four-axle sidecar with the number Bi4 8 . In 1971 the vehicle was scrapped.
Constructive features
The vehicle corresponded to the principles of lightweight construction of the time. The car body was welded from profiles and sheet metal. The paintwork of the railcar was blue / cream like the Gothaer Wagen.
