Klv 20: The Bulli for the rails

Model info: Without drive and lighting

Prototype: In 1954/55, the DB ordered new railcars for the Deutsche Bahn (DB) operating department. Based on the VW T1 body, a total of 30 Klv 20 vehicles were ordered from Beilhack (our prototype) and WMD. The VW body was mounted on a new frame. They were powered by an air-cooled VW industrial engine with a 1.2-liter displacement and 28 hp. The top speed was 70 km/h, and the total weight was approximately 1,400 kg. Power was transmitted via a clutch and a manual transmission from automotive engineering, with four forward gears and one reverse gear. The original vehicles were equipped with a lifting device for turning, allowing one person to lift and rotate the vehicle. The DB decommissioned the Klv 20s by 1977; they continued to be used by other railways, and some have survived to this day. Thanks to their robust construction and easy maintenance, seven vehicles have survived to this day.
