The passenger railcars of the Schleizer Kleinbahn PT 1 and PT 2 were two-axle electric railcars that were in use on the Schleizer Kleinbahn from 1930 to 1969 .

history

When the Bleilochtalsperre was built from 1927 onwards, a connecting railway was required to transport material. The neighboring communities used this opportunity to implement the long-planned railway connection. In 1926 it was decided to build a small train from Schleiz to Saalburg . Schleizer Kleinbahn AG , founded for this purpose, had a public railway built, which was electrified with direct current of 1200 volts and overhead lines.

All traffic was opened on June 28, 1930. On April 1, 1949, the Schleizer Kleinbahn was subordinated to the Deutsche Reichsbahn . On June 1, 1969, electrical operation was discontinued.

The preserved railcars of the Schleizer Kleinbahn

In 1930 Waggonbau Weimar delivered the two PT 1 and PT 2 passenger railcars and the four side cars 1 to 4 of the same type, which could be coupled via an Albert coupling and had no side buffers .

The railcars were each equipped with two driver's cabs and a peg bearing drive .

During the construction of the PT 2 railcar, the company and thus also the wheelset traveling mass could be reduced somewhat.

After the takeover of operations by the Deutsche Reichsbahn, the vehicles were redrawn, the multiple units PT 1 and PT 2 were added to the class ET 188.5 and to the ET 188 511 and 512, the sidecars 1-4 to the EB 188 511 to 514.

After the end of the electrical operation of the PT 1 came with the sidecar Nos. 4 and the baggage railcars GT 1 for transport museum Dresden , the sidecar number 3 is as Aufsetzwagen on the cargo platform of the steep section of the Oberweißbacher Lift in use.
