VT08.jpg (42356 bytes)

In the fifties, express DMUs class VT08 (later renumbered to 613) were delivered to the DB. They had compartment cars and a dining-car, some were even used for TEE when the VT11 were not yet all delivered. This train was restored in original state, with a special DB logo that was only used on the VT08. Braunschweig, 10th March 1996.

Historic DMU DB VT 08 in Dresden-Neustadt. Detail of the doors (very modern for their time) and the gangway between two cars (which appears more streamlined than in today's ICEs). 2001-05-13.

Historic DMU DB VT 08 in Dresden-Neustadt. The end cars are powered, the middle cars not. You can see the open door. 2001-05-13.

VT08_DN8.jpg (66004 bytes)

Historic DMU DB VT 08 in Dresden-Neustadt. A detail of the cab windows (seven windows arranged in a semi-circle). As you can see, the cab is quite small because the engine takes up a lot of space. I also heard that it is rather noisy in the cab when the train is running. So these trains were not all that popular among drivers. 2001-05-13.

VT08_DN9.jpg (113477 bytes)

Historic DMU DB VT 08 in Dresden-Neustadt. Frontal view. The first VT 08 trains were built in 1952, the well-known DB logo was introduced in 1953, so the VT 08 originally had this unique "winged wheel" logo as it has been reproduced on the preserved train. 2001-05-13.
