DSB Prototypelyntog

LONG AND COMPLICATED TRAIN FOR YALL!!! :3


I 1978 skrev DSB kontrakt med Scandia om levering af to nye prototypelyntog. Konceptet var helt nyt idet toget bestod af 5 fast sammenkoblede vogne beregnet til fremførsel med separat lokomotiv. Længden på togsættet var - som altid - afstemt efter længden på færgerne over Storebælt; dennegang de tre nye Intercityfærger, der blev taget i brug i 1980.
Togsættet bestod af følgende vogne: Litra Bfs - to identiske styrevogne i hver ende af toget med 74 pladser på 2. klasse i storrum med midtergang. Litra Afm - en 1. klasses sidegangs kupévogn med 60 pladser. Litra Bfm - en 2. klasses storrumsvogn med 72 pladser. Litra Cfm - en servicevogn med bl.a. tre flexkupeer, der kunne indrettes til konferencekupe. Vognen havde 22 pladser på 2. klasse, handicapkupé og kiosk, og rummede ligeledes alt udstyr til klimaanlæg, elanlæg m.v.
I sommeren 1981 blev de to togsæt leveret fra Scandia, og en intensiv prøvekørsel blev iværksat. Da de mange børnesygdomme var blevet rettet, blev toget indsat i ordinær drift København-Århus i 1982.
Allerede inden prototypelyntoget var sat i ordinær drift, skiftede DSB planer med hensyn til anvendelse af materiel i fjerntrafikken, og der blev derfor aldrig bygget mere end disse to sæt. DSB besluttede i stedet at satse på selvkørende togsæt, og resultatet blev IC3 og IR4 på de henholdsvis ikke-elektrificerede og elektrificerede strækninger.
I 1991 blev der foretaget en mindre renovering idet mellemvognen Afm blev deklasseret til Bafm, og mellemvognen Cfm blev ombygget til ABfm med to 1. klasses kupeer i flexarealet. Herefter blev begge togsæt indsat som bådtog mellem København og Kalundborg.
I 1995 blev alle ti vogne solgt til de iranske jernbaner efter længere tids hensættelse i Rødby Færge. Efter istandsættelse på centralværkstedet i Århus og en omlakering til grå, blev begge togsæt sendt til Padborg for videre transport til Iran. Imidlertid var togene for brede til det europæiske fritrumsprofil så i stedet blev de udskibet fra Esbjerg Havn den 2/6 1995.


In 1978, DSB signed a contract with Scandia for the delivery of two new prototype express trains. The concept was completely new as the train consisted of 5 permanently coupled carriages intended for transport by a separate locomotive. The length of the train set was - as always - coordinated with the length of the ferries across the Great Belt; this time the three new Intercity ferries that were put into service in 1980.
The train set consisted of the following carriages: Litra Bfs - two identical control carriages at each end of the train with 74 seats in 2nd class in a large compartment with a central aisle. Litra Afm - a 1st class side aisle compartment carriage with 60 seats. Litra Bfm - a 2nd class large compartment carriage with 72 seats. Litra Cfm - a service carriage with, among other things, three flex compartments that could be converted into a conference compartment. The carriage had 22 seats in 2nd class, a disabled compartment and a kiosk, and also accommodated all the equipment for air conditioning, electrical systems, etc.
In the summer of 1981, the two train sets were delivered from Scandia, and intensive test runs were initiated. When the many childhood ailments had been corrected, the train was put into regular service Copenhagen-Århus in 1982.
Even before the prototype express train was put into regular service, DSB changed plans with regard to the use of equipment in long-distance traffic, and therefore more than these two sets were never built. DSB decided instead to invest in self-propelled train sets, and the result was IC3 and IR4 on the non-electrified and electrified lines, respectively.
In 1991, a minor renovation was carried out, as the intermediate car Afm was downgraded to Bafm, and the intermediate car Cfm was converted to ABfm with two 1st class compartments in the flex area. After that, both train sets were used as boat trains between Copenhagen and Kalundborg.
In 1995, all ten carriages were sold to the Iranian railways after a long period of storage in Rødby Færge. After refurbishment at the central workshop in Århus and a repaint to grey, both train sets were sent to Padborg for further transport to Iran. However, the trains were too wide for the European gauge, so instead they were shipped from the Port of Esbjerg on 2/6 1995.
