FZeh 2/4 is the name for multiple units of the Rorschach-Heiden-Bergbahn ( RHB ), with luggage and mail compartments . Today it belongs to the Appenzeller Bahnen . The vehicles are equipped for mixed use on adhesion and cogwheel routes. The cars with road numbers 21 and 22 were purchased for electrification in 1930.

The FZeh 2/4 handled all rail traffic up to the commissioning of the BDeh2 / 4 . In 1956 it changed the name due to the conversion to the two-tier system in DZeh 2/4 to. Today, railcar 22 is still operational as a historic vehicle, while railcar 21 serves as a spare parts store.

Technical

The vehicles were obtained from the Swiss Locomotive and Machine Factory (SLM) in Winterthur. The electrical equipment comes from Maschinenfabrik Oerlikon (MFO) in Zurich. The railcars only have a driver's cab on the valley side. On the mountain side there is only a transitional door to normally carried Vorstellwagen . The luggage compartment is divided into two parts and has a total usable area of ​​7.7 square meters. The vehicle is equipped with two drive styles or 25 kilometers an hour and can be applied to the rack portion a Vorstelllast carry a maximum of 70 tonnes. The two drive gears are on the adhesion drive axles. The axis sequence is 1'Bo1 ', gear and adhesion drive are rigidly connected to each other. This is technically the simplest version, but it has disadvantages in gear operation, which is why a wheel disc is designed to be rotatable on the drive axle. The power transmission in adhesion mode takes place on each axle via a wheel, with which only two of the eight wheels are driven.

Due to the low-lying cogwheel drive, the vehicles are only allowed to drive on the Rorschach Hafen – Rorschach-Heiden route, as the train safety magnets are only lowered there sufficiently.
