The diesel multiple units PLB No. 1125–1127 were meter-gauge diesel multiple units and came to the Franzburger Kreisbahnen (FKB) during the Second World War . There they were taken over by the Deutsche Reichsbahn in the GDR as VT 137 562-564 . Two vehicles were in operation on the small railroad until the 1970s and were given the EDP designations 187 102-9 and 187 103-7 . In 1975 the last vehicle was taken out of service.
history
During the occupation of France in World War II , the three vehicles were procured by the Reichsverkehrsgruppe Eisenbahnverkehr for operation on the Franzburger Kreisbahnen. They came from a series of five railcars that Brissonneau et Lotz had delivered to the Compagnie des Chemins de fer du Morbihan in Brittany between 1936 and 1938 . As vehicles of the Pomeranian State Railways (PLB), to which the FKB belonged, they received the operating numbers PLB 1125-1127 . At the end of the 1940s, the drive system was removed from railcar 1127 to stock up on spare parts and used as a spare part for the other two vehicles. It was also planned to keep the railcars available as supplementary vehicles for operation on the routes of the Nordhausen-Wernigeroder Railway Company , which was not implemented because of the inclines.
Just like the origin, the end of the vehicles is partly unclear. The Franzburger Kreisbahnen were shut down in 1971 and then dismantled. The railcar VT 137 562 was parked in 1969 and scrapped in 1971. The VT 137 563 was in Stralsund from January 1, 1970 and scrapped in 1975. In 1979 the car body could be seen as an arbor in Barth . In 1992 the remains of the vehicle were still in good condition. As of 2009, the further fate of this witness had not yet been decided.
technical description
The vehicles, which were considered to be very modern when they were in use, had some special features that differed greatly from German railcars. The drive system was housed in a special engine compartment, the drive traction motors were mounted on the same side in the bogies.
The vehicles looked strange through their double transition door in the front of the railcar. On the one hand, this resulted in restricted visibility for the engine driver, who had his operator position on the left-hand side of these vehicles. The ventilation grilles next to the driver's cab side window and the large ventilation roof , which was used to ventilate the machinery, also had an effect . The entrance doors behind the engine room were designed as revolving doors, on the other side of the vehicle as large sliding doors. The passenger compartment was between them. A mail room was located between the rear sliding door and the adjoining passenger compartment, which was not specified in the generic name.
The machine system originally consisted of a Berliet diesel engine with an output of 135 hp. In the later operational service by the Deutsche Reichsbahn, the engine was already specified with the make Deutz. A generator for 550 V and 180 A was coupled to the motor; it supplied power for the two drive motors, which were suspended in the bogie underneath as paw-bearing motors .
