03Jernbanemuseet_ME35_20060526_M.jpg (56278 bytes)

At the 26'th of may 2006, with an Event called "DSB-døgnet", the Danish state Railways offered extremely cheap all-day tickets for all of Denmark for only 50 kroner (Approx. 6,50 Euro!).
The ticket was valid for an unlimited use of all DSB-trains for 24 Hours!
This offer was used by very many people, with stuffed trains and delays as a natural consequence ;-)
I mainly used the day for going to the Danish Railway Museum in Odense.

Here's a small diesel-railcar, built by Triangel for smaller lines in the 20's and 30's.
This type saved a lot of both private-operated and DSB-operated branch-lines, at least into the 50's/60's...

D. 26/5 2006 var "DSB døgnet". DSB solgte heldagsbilletter til 25 kr for vest eller østområdet, og 50 kr for hele landet! Dette medførte en sand passagerstorm, særligt på Intecity-togene, med forsinkelser til følge.
Jeg brugte hovedsageligt dagen på at besøge Jernbanemuseet i Odense.

Her ses en Triangelmotorvogn (ME35), en type der redddede en del sidebaner fra at uddø dengang.

From 1935 49 motor cars type MO were built, with 90 more after WW2. MO 1846 was built in 1954 and used for regional passenger and mail trains. It was withdrawn from active service in 1984 and is now operational at the National Railway Museum in Odense.

DSB_MO_1846_Od1.jpg (141453 bytes)

DSB MO 1846, built 1954 by Frichs. Class MO (V) was built from 1951 to 1958 in 90 units, based on the earlier series MO I to IV of 1935 to 1940 (totally 49 units). The engines were sitting on a three axle bogie, the traction motors were in the other two-axle bogie. With two 184 kW engines it could reach a speed of 120 km/h, enough for express trains of the era (even some international trains, such as the "Nordpilen" Frederikshavn - Hamburg and the train Esbjerg - Hamburg). The motor car had a capacity of 37 seats and a baggage room. They were also used with push-pull trains. The last regular use was 1984.

DSB_AA_431_i1.jpg (119409 bytes)

Interior of a first class compartment in DSB AA 431, the middle car of the MS 401 / 402 trainset built 1935 by Frichs as one of four units. These units introduced the "Lyntog" category and significantly shortened travel times between København and the mainland (Kronjyden to Aalborg, Vestjyden to Esbjerg and Østjyden to Aarhus), passing a bridge over Lillebælt and going on a ferry over Storebælt. The middle car had six first class compartments in the middle and two second-class compartments on both ends. The last regular service was in 1973 as "Neptun" from København via the Gedser - Warnemünde ferry to Berlin.

DSB_AA_431_i2.jpg (105141 bytes)

Interior of a second class compartment in DSB AA 431, the middle car of the MS 401 / 402 trainset. Most of second class was in the end cars, plus two 8-seat compartments at both ends of the middle car, so first class passengers didn't hear the noises from the wheels. Until 1956 this was "fællesklasse", a class between the old second and third class, equivalent to the new second class after the European class reform.

Interior of the restaurant compartment in DSB MS 401, end car of the MS 401 / AA 431 / MS 402 trainset built 1935 by Frichs as one of four units. These units introduced the "Lyntog" category and significantly shortened travel times between København and the mainland (Kronjyden to Aalborg, Vestjyden to Esbjerg and Østjyden to Aarhus), passing a bridge over Lillebælt and going on a ferry over Storebælt. Each end car had two engine/generator sets of 184 kW each, four traction motors were in the articulated middle bogies. One end car had a small restaurant as shown.

Interior of the DSB MS 401, end car of the MS 401 / AA 431 / MS 402 trainset built 1935 by Frichs as one of four "Lyntog" units. Originally this was "fællesklasse", a class cheaper than old second but more expensive than old third class. This two-class system was generalized in Europe in 1956.
