The АМ-1 diesel railcar is a railcar manufactured by the Demichowo machine factory for the narrow-gauge railways of the SŽD and is intended for use on 750 mm track.

history

The motor car АМ-1 is a four-axle narrow-gauge combustion railcar with a gauge of 750 mm. As a drive unit, the four-cylinder two-stroke diesel engine ЯАЗ-204A with a turbocharger and a power of 120 hp, which was created on the basis of the truck ZIS-150 . The power transmission took place via a mechanical transmission from the Demichowo machine factory . After the sample car had been tested in 1962, series production took place from 1963 to 1972, with a total of 297 motor vehicles built.

construction

AM-1.003 in tourist use on the Wassertalbahn in Romania.
Passenger car of the ПВ40 series

The vehicles represent a self-propelled unit, which was created on the basis of the narrow-gauge wagons of the ПВ40 series. They were intended for operation as individual vehicles and in association with up to three passenger cars of this type. The car body was a box construction made of walls with corrugated sheet metal. It was divided into the individual compartments by partition walls; two driver's cabs, an engine compartment behind a driver's cab, the passenger compartment in large-scale construction and the entry areas with the access doors between the large-capacity or engine compartment and the driver's cabs. The control panels were located in the two driver's cabs, and the vehicle could be controlled from both driver's cabs. The ЯАЗ-204A diesel engine , the gearbox and the electrical devices housed in a cabinet were placed in the engine compartment . The vehicle's accumulators were arranged under the car body. The energy supply was carried out by two combined systems; the generator Г-732 with relay and regulator as well as the accumulator battery.

The passenger compartment was equipped with hard seats for 37 passengers, which were arranged in a transverse arrangement with a middle aisle. There were fans on the roof to ventilate the car. The vehicle was heated by a hot water heater, in which the heat from the engine's cooling circuit was used. The lighting was electric with a voltage of 50 V.

The motor vehicle could be equipped with a standard pulling and buffing device for narrow-gauge railways or with an automatic narrow-gauge coupling according to the SA 3 system. Braking was done with air via the indirect brake . The vehicle also had a handbrake as a parking brake.

The chassis consisted of two two-axle bogies, the drive bogie and the running bogie. The wheels of the drive frame were equipped with two axle drives with continuous drive shafts, driven by the gearbox via a cardan shaft .

Use of the vehicles

There is little reliable information in the literature about the use of vehicles. The locations of use can only be taken from the list of the received car bodies of the decommissioned vehicles. Accordingly, vehicles were used on the narrow-gauge railways of the Severnaya schelesnaja doroga , the Kuibyshevskaya schelesnaja doroga , the Moskovskaya schelesnaja doroga , the Belaruskaya chyhunka and the Sverdlovskaya schelesnaja doroga . The vehicles received in Romania , which were re-gauged to 760 mm there, were acquired used for tourist use on the narrow-gauge railways available there. There is also little information about the decommissioning of vehicles; At the present time, the following vehicles can be assumed:

There is information about the use of the vehicles on children's railways . The use of the AM1-142 on the children's railway in Alchevsk is documented. At the end of the 1970s, a further developed vehicle from the APU series was developed especially for children's railways . A test vehicle was built from this series and was in use until around 2000.
