ÖBB Class 5047
The ÖBB Class 5047 are diesel railcars used in regional transportation. The trains were built by Jenbacher Werke and entered service in 1987. The GySEV and the Steiermarkbahn also have railcars of this type. History In 1983, ÖBB placed an order with Jenbacher Werke for six new diesel railcars based on the German DB Class 627, 627 series. The first vehicle was completed in July 1987 and presented at an international press trip to Rosenburg am Kamp. After successful operation on the lines of the “Schweinbarther Kreuz” in the Weinviertel region of Lower Austria, where the six 5047s were used in a quickly conceived “special plan”, a total of 100 railcars with modified Marschwandlers of the 5047 series and five sets (10 individual vehicles) of the 5147 series were built for the ÖBB. A single Class 5047 unit cost ATS 27 million at the time, a driving trailer would hardly have been cheaper at ATS 22 million. Therefore, the solution for the 5147 was a double railcar in the form ...

Diesel Multiple Unit
A diesel multiple unit or DMU is a multiple-unit train powered by on-board diesel engines. A DMU requires no separate locomotive, as the engines are incorporated into one or more of the carriages. Diesel-powered single-unit railcars are also generally classed as DMUs. Diesel-powered units may be further classified by their transmission type: diesel–mechanical DMMU, diesel–hydraulic DHMU, or diesel–electric DEMU. Design The diesel engine may be located above the frame in an engine bay or under the floor. Driving controls can be at both ends, on one end, or in a separate car. Types by transmission DMUs are usually classified by the method of transmitting motive power to their wheels. Diesel–mechanical In a diesel–mechanical multiple unit (DMMU), the rotating energy of the engine is transmitted via a Transmission (mechanics), gearbox and driveshaft directly to the wheels of the train, like a automobile, car. The transmissions can be shifted manually by the driver, a ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
DB Class 628
The DB Class 628 is a twin-car, diesel multiple unit operated by the Deutsche Bahn for local passenger rail services. Design ''(The following description is primarily related to the Class 628.4, and is largely valid for the other variants as well)'' Each coach rests on two twin-axle bogies. Only the bogie at the close-coupled end of the coach is driven. Power transmission from the motor is achieved using a ''Voith'' hydrodynamic transmission system with a converter (''Wandler'') and a T 311r coupling. Up to Class 628, a T 320 double-converter transmission was used. Motor and transmission are suspended elastically under the lightweight coach body. The operating brake is an automatic compressed air brake, compressed air KE disc brake with automatic load braking and electronic anti-skid protection. In addition, for rapid braking, electromagnetic rail brakes are used; these can also be activated separately if required. Coupled running enables up to four coupled pairs of coaches to be ...
