as a means of acquiring new rolling stock cheaply, and to provide economical services on lightly-used lines. One example of these was the Waggun and Maschinenbau built batch, which were utilised from 1958 until 1967. <span>hey were mechanically similar to the Uerdingen railbuses used on the German Federal Railway and in their first year managed to save \u00a366,000 in operational costs.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"bggle_image--container imageLeft underText imageLeft\">\n<div class=\"bggle_image-source\">Image via <em>kitmasterbloke<\/em>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"bggle--block bggle_text margin_vertical--small     margin-top_none \">\n<p>The body was formed of alloy panels rivetted on a light steel frame. Roof plates were crimped to increase rigidity. The body was suspended from four points on the frame, connected by hydraulic shock absorbers. Unlike most BR diesel units, the accelerator was foot controlled. Also unusual at that time, were the power operated central doors and air powered disc brakes. Unfortunately, the lines they worked still lost money and were closed, making them surplus to requirements. Most of the class have made their way into preservation.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Waggon-_und_Maschinenbau_GmbH_Donauw%C3%B6rth_railbus\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">(Information provided via Wikipedia)<\/a>\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Heljan&#8217;s new batch of Waggon-und-Maschinenbau 4-wheel diesel Railbuses have now arrived in stock!
