Description
Diesel Powered Rail Car Train. German Federal Railroad (DB) class VT 10.5 Senator daytime articulated train. The train consists of 2 powered cars, 1 open seating car, and 1 car with a galley. The paint scheme is as the train looked when delivered in 1953/1954. Source: www.maerklin.de VT 10.5 - Senator by Day, Komet by Night. At the start of the Fifties, the German Federal Railroad (DB) developed two articulated powered rail car trains for long distance service. Franz Kruckenberg, who had already made a name for himself in the Thirties with fast vehicles, participated in the design. In the development of the two powered rail car trains, he was able to go back to valuable experience that had already been made with the Rail Zeppelin and the SVT 135 155: high speed resulting from largely all-aluminum lightweight construction. These two articulated powered rail car trains were presented for the first time at the German Transportation Exhibition (DVA) in Munich in 1953: The VT 10 501, built by Linke-Hofmann-Busch as a daytime train Senator for the DB, and the VT 10 551, built by Wegmann as the overnight train Komet for the German Sleeping Car and Dining Car Company (DSG). In addition to their use and paint scheme, these two trains also had design differences. While the cars for the Senator were equipped with single-axle running gear, the Komet had Jacobs trucks between the cars. The end cars on both trains each had a two-axle power truck. MAN diesel motors with originally a performance of 118 kilowatts / 158 horsepower, later with 154 kilowatts / 206 horsepower, were used in the motor cars. The maximum speed was 120 km/h / 75 mph; a planned increase to 160 km/h / 100 mph was not carried out. The power transmission was done hydraulically by means of a four-speed transmission. The Senator offered its passengers 135 seats in 1st class, 24 of them reclining seats. The trains went into regular service with the beginning of the summer schedule in 1954. The daytime train, road no. VT 10 501 as Ft 41/42 Senator on the route Frankfurt/Main - Hamburg, the overnight train as Ft 49/50 Komet between Hamburg and Basle (starting in the summer of 1955 to Zürich). The running characteristics of the overnight train received a positive evaluation. Those of the daytime train were the opposite according to DB documents: All things considered, it is apparent that the freight car characteristics cannot be removed from this train. The Senator was in use until June of 1956, was rebuilt several times and tested in experimental runs. In 1959, it was taken out of operation and in 1962 was scrapped. All of the cars from the two trains were scrapped except for the intermediate car VT 10 551i from the overnight train that is used by Nürnberg railroad enthusiasts as a home for their club. The experiences with the two Kruckenberg designs fed the development of the subsequent DB VT 11.5 TEE powered rail car train. History: German Federal Railway VT 105go backGermany \| 1953 2 produced VT 10 501 VT 10 501Public Domain The VT 105 was a project for a lightweight articulated diesel train for intercity service jointly carried by the Bundesbahn, the German Sleeper and Dining Car Company (DSG) and the German Federal Post. It was designed by the office of Franz Kruckenberg and used many experiences in lightweight construction he had gained in the construction of the Rail Zeppelin and the SVT 137 155. The trains featured a power car on each end and five trailers which were articulated on common bogies. The bodies were constructed of aluminium alloy. Each power car had two 118 kW MAN bus engines for propulsion which worked through a hydro-mechanical gearbox onto the leading two-axle bogie. Their power was later increased to 154 kW what increased top speed from 120 to 160 km/h. To provide head end power, each power car also had a 92 kW truck engine. Of only two trainsets built, one was VT 10 501 that had been paid for by the Bundesbahn. It was used for the daytime “Senator” service and had five trailers which stood on one-axle bogies. The VT 10 551, paid for by the DSG, was intended for the nighttime “Komet”. It originally had five trailers which rested on two-axle Jacobs bogies. Later it was augmented by a sixth trailer. After their first publicity tours in 1953, they were put into commercial service. Due to a multitude of failures, they often stood in the shop for repairs. 501 was retired in 1956 and 551 in 1958. A third mail train was only planned, but never built. In the end the maintenance was too expensive with six engines per train.
