The standard gauge railcars of the Talbot wagon factory were a series of particularly light-weight two-axle railcars for operation on branch lines . The vehicles were particularly widespread in Brandenburg and were classified in the VT 135.5 series after 1949 . The vehicles were in use until the end of the 1960s.
history
The decline in the number of journeys on numerous private railways in Brandenburg such as the Oderbruchbahn or the Prignitzer Eisenbahn during the Great Depression forced the companies to rationalize their operations. As with the Spreewaldbahn two years earlier, the standard-gauge private railways relied on vehicles from the Talbot wagon factory. In 1936 the Oderbruchbahn and the Kleinbahnen in the districts West and Ostprignitz each received four railcars (T 101-104 and T 601-604).
As a result of the vehicles, the number of passengers on the rail rose again. At the Oderbruchbahn the lowest point in the number of journeys was reached in 1933, by 1936 the number of travelers rose by 71%. The vehicles were used for the low-traffic times in the passenger train service. By equipping them with a normal pulling and buffing device , they could take a sidecar with them, the engine output was sufficient with around 100 hp.
During the Second World War , the T 104 of the Oderbruchbahn in particular was freely usable due to its wood gasification drive due to the quota of diesel fuel. After the war, the vehicles were initially used on their regular routes. Six railcars still came to the Deutsche Reichsbahn, one railcar (the T 103) was in the Cologne area in 1945 and came to the Tecklenburger Nordbahn in 1954 . There it kept its original name and was only referred to internally as TN T8 . The railcar was used there until 1964 and then continued to be used as a workshop vehicle. In 1968 it was retired. The other vehicles were replaced by larger vehicles with a further increase in transport services; on the Oderbruchbahn, for example, they were replaced by the DR 137 000… 135 . The Talbot railcars were used for a wide variety of tasks in the Reichsbahndirektion Berlin and were concentrated in Wittenberge . They were retired by the end of the 1960s, and none of the vehicles was given an EDP designation. Only photos of the vehicles have been preserved in literature.
Constructive features
Car body
Regardless of their drive system, the Talbot railcars had a uniform structure and interior fittings, in which only two places in the interior fittings for the gas generator had to be removed for the gas drive. In terms of their external appearance, they were very elegant and similar to the design of the DR 135 061… 132 . Although they were only a meter shorter than this, they were almost five tons lighter.
The interior offered 41 seats, which were arranged in a 4 + 1 arrangement in an open-plan compartment between the entry areas. The place for the gas generator was in the entry room. The pure diesel vehicles had two additional seats at the point. The rear entrance area in the direction of travel also served as a luggage compartment.
Machine system
In the basic configuration, the vehicles had a diesel engine with an output of 110 hp. In addition, some vehicles were equipped with a drive system that used alternative fuels at the time. While a drive with an anthracite gas system did not prove itself and was expanded again, vehicles with a wood gas system also drove, which proved itself in operation. Air-dry beech and oak wood chopped into small pieces was used for the operation. The consumption is said to have been 1.8 kg of wood per kilometer. The car with wood gas drive proved itself very well on the Oderbruchbahn, its daily output was 450 kilometers. The mechanical transmission of the TAG type was used for power transmission .
