The railcar OeK T 1 was a railcar of the Obereichsfelder Kleinbahn AG . It was procured for operation on the Silberhausen – Hüpstedt small railway . The OeK T 1 is one of the first vehicles of the so-called Wettin railcars and was given the designation T 3 by the small railroad department of the Provincial Association of Saxony . The railcar was taken over by the Deutsche Reichsbahn in 1949 as VT 135 547 and was formally given the new EDP designation 186 034-5 from 1970 . The vehicle was active until the early 1970s.

history

Since the end of potash mining in 1924, the economic situation of Obereichsfelder Kleinbahn AG has always been difficult. Thus the last small Wettiner manufactured by WUMAG was used here to successfully compete with a bus line founded in 1929.

By using the OeK T 1, it was possible to lure more passengers onto the rails and reduce operating costs to a minimum. With the dismantling of the Silberhausen – Hüpstedt railway as a reparation payment in 1947, the OeK T1 was initially transferred to the Halle-Hettstedter Eisenbahn-Gesellschaft , where it was used on the Gerbstedt – Friedeburg railway . The vehicle had to be parked there due to an engine failure. The drive system was removed from the vehicle and it was used as a sidecar on the Wallwitz – Wettin railway line . At the beginning of the 1950s, the railcar was again provided with a drive motor and designated as VT 135 547 . The vehicle was still designated as 186 034-5 after 1970 and has been considered retired since 1972.

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 belonged to a series with four railcars that were manufactured by WUMAG .

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 KWW , they were later provided 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 six-cylinder four-stroke diesel engine OM 65 from Mercedes-Benz . In the 1950s, the worn out 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.
