Description
"Silberling" or n-type carriages stored in Hamm. See my journal for more info.I don't think the feeling one had here is conveyed through any of my photos. You just have to see it for yourself, maybe a dozen rows of coupled carriages. You look either way, and despite being able to see the end of the line in the distance, it seems so extremely long...
We climbed into almost all cab cars thanks to my friend's square socket key, and usually, everything was intact. Sure, some components were missing from the cabs, but apart from a little graffiti and dirt, these carriages were all right. However, most of them had block brakes, which was one of the reasons for them being retired. The other one of course being that modern rolling stock is demanded, leaving the old ones without a purpose. Still, the sheer amount of rolling stock stored here is beyond my imagination!

Interessante Perspektive (und es ist keine Lok drauf ^^)
Das Licht ist ebenfalls klasse. Schicker Kontrast zwischen dem Rot, Blau und Schwarz.

Hehe, ja, hier war auch keine Lok das Motiv.
Danke, bin hier extra was tiefer gegangen, vielleicht kommt dadurch die Länge der Reihen besser rüber. Hatte viele solcher Bilder, und musste mich für eines oder zwei entscheiden. Offenbar war das hier eines der interessanteren, auch nicht zuletzt wegen den Farbkontrasten.

Haha! Genau ^^
Die anderen Bilder würd ich auch gern mal sehen. Lädst du die irgendwo anders noch hoch?

Ja, die werden auch mit der Zeit hier landen, aber ich will nicht meine watcher mit einer Wagenladung bilder auf einmal zuspammen.

Haste auch wieder wahr.

It might be more of an "experience" to ride a silberling train, but you're going to reach your destination faster in an EMU.

Interestingly, when my double decker broke down somewhere and was replaced by a silberling train, it kept the timetable, despite the lower top speed. But then again, double decker trains aren't exactly fast acceleraters either, so EMUs would win here as well. Still, because I'm crazy, I'd still take the silberling, it's just more fun to watch people struggle with the door than hearing that annoying beep of the automatic ones.

Yeah. It's equally difficult to sleep through the bell tones and the door slams.

I think double deckers have the best solution. The doors don't smash shut like in silberlings and don't beep one to death like in EMUs, they just quietly close when nobody walks through the light barrier for ten seconds or so.

Yeah, but some of them have an electronic 3-tone bell that rings before the doors close for departure.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yes, but just when the driver wants to leave and deactivates the opening buttons. When the train is just standing around, they close without making a racket.

Yeah. That's a nice feature.

Vergiss nicht Asbest. Deswegen wurden sehr viele ausgemustert.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Sicher? Ich hatte da jetzt nichts von gehört, meinst du einer von denen hier hat noch Asbest drin?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Das kann ich so nicht sicher sagen, aber es wurden verdammt viele Reisezugwagen wegen Asbestbelastung abgestellt. In den frühen 90ern hat die Reichsbahn sogar mit Halberstädtern ausgeholfen . Ob die Silberlinge nun davon betroffen waren kann ich nicht sagen, aber Reisezugwagen ganz sicher.

Ja, das kann gut sein, aber die ganzen sachen die hier rumstehen waren nicht sonderlich alt. Auf den älteren Satellitenbildern vom Bahnhof kann man auch nicht so ne riesen Ansammlung an Wagen sehen, daher ist das wohl erst seit ein paar Jahren so.

They allow for lower top speeds only, and also creates more noise than disc brakes. Both increasingly became problems.

Yeh That Makes Sense.
Seems Weird They Didn't Just Swap The Axels And Bogies On The Carrages Rather Than Have Empty Carrages Sat Around.
Oh Well Better Than Being Cut Up I Suppose

Since more and more of these are being retired, it's easier to just use ones with disk brakes that are not needed somewhere else than converting the ones they currently had. In the end, they all go to the scrap heap, but the ones with block brakes get there faster...

Or Slower Depending On How Things Look xD

They don't have as much brake power as disk brakes. Trains with n-type carriages may only have a certain number of block-braked ones, in order to reach the demanded percentage of brake power.

Ahh K That Makes Sense.
I Just Thaught It Was To Do With Wheel Wear Or Something Coz I Cant Imagine It Being A Labour Saving Excercise.
But Yeh Makes Sense
