The SB Tw 1–15 were eight electrically operated multiple units and seven trailer cars of the Austrian Southern Railway (SB).
The vehicles were procured in 1883 for operation on the Mödling – Hinterbrühl local railway . They were the first electric railcars in Europe that were suitable for continuous operation.
The power was drawn from metal boats that ran in slotted pipes ( slotted pipe contact line ). These pipes were attached to ropes and provided the power supply. The eight motor coaches and seven sidecars had hardy brakes and, for the first time, electrical heating. The electrical lighting , which was tested for the first time, was replaced by gas lighting due to problems .
The suspension used was not leaf springs but rubber buffers. The electric motor was located between the axles. It was driven by gears and a countershaft on both axles. The only 12½ hp engine was soon exchanged for a twice as powerful one. When the new SB Tw 20-29 railcars were purchased in 1903 , the eight old railcars were converted into sidecars.
The missing sidecar No. 14 happened to reappear in 1982 after it had served as a construction hut in a sand pit. It is now in the Mödlinger Stadtverkehrmuseum and is being processed.
