Combustion railcar VT 60.5
After the railcars were taken over by the newly founded Deutsche Bundesbahn (DB), several design changes were made in the 1950s to make the vehicles, now designated VT60.5, fit for the coming period of service. At the Friedrichshafen depot, the engines were replaced with the 330 hp MAN engines that had already been used in small locomotives of performance group III. The upholstery of the upgraded 3rd to 2nd class also increased passenger comfort. Many railcars also received modern DB lamps in the 1960s for better route visibility and lost the conspicuous railcar lamps of the Reichsbahn era. The uniform purple-red color scheme for DB diesel vehicles soon replaced the old DR color scheme. In contrast to its first home, the DB distributed its 31 VT60.5s to significantly more depots and from then on the Rheine, Darmstadt, Stuttgart, Kassel, Frankfurt-Griesheim, Heilbronn, Nuremberg and Friedrichshafen depots were among the main locations where they were used. Six railcars were leased to the American occupying forces until 1960. A total of 10 VS145s are documented for 1952, which were primarily used in combination with VT60.5s. In Bremen and Wuppertal, however, they were also used with VT36.5 or V36. Together with the last VT60.5, the last VS145, now designated as class 945, was also taken out of service in Rheine in 1972. The BRAWA models of the VT60.5 series are realized with high fidelity to the original and are characterized by numerous details. The transmission block is made of die-cast zinc. Drive is on two axles. The railcars are prepared for sound or already come with built-in sound depending on the order number.
