history
Like other companies at the time, the Grand Ducal Oldenburg Railway was looking for more efficient vehicles for passenger transport . When procuring a benzene-electric railcar, the focus was on vehicles supplied for the Prussian State Railways . The company Düsseldorfer Eisenbahnbedarf delivered a corresponding railcar in 1910. The electrical equipment came from AEG.
It was used on the Jever-Carolinensiel and Oldenburg-Cloppenburg routes as well as for staff trips to the marshalling yard in Oldenburg . The fuel shortage during the First World War ended the operations.
Constructive structure
The vehicle had a car body frame with longitudinal stiffeners. The two bogies had an outer frame. The rotating pans were designed as coupling bearings and rested on leaf springs . The front bogie had an axle base of 3200 mm to accommodate the machine set. The engine was provided with a flat sheet metal hood on one side that could be pulled off to the front.
The benzene engine ( Otto engine for benzene fuel ) drove a direct current generator . The fed by this generator, electric motors turn the rear bogie driven through a gear train the driving axles of. The benzene engine could be separated from the generator by means of a flexible coupling . The exhaust gases were led to the roof of the car via a vent. The engine cooler was arranged on the vehicle roof.
The superstructure had a driver's cab at both ends of the vehicle . There were two entrances via steps on both sides. The vehicle had five compartments of the third class and three compartments of the fourth class. The heating took place via the engine cooling water. There were five static fans on the car body.
