generator zugwagen "b" on rails
Permalink   


Comrades, I have seen at least two photos fom what I identify as the generator zugwagen working on rails.  I attached one, it seems to be pulling special carts (an hibrid between horse pulled-railwagon). Could anyone confirm is that true? Never heard about the b zug was a rail/ open road operating vehicule. Indeed the model of the photos have some differences probably related to the prodction model itself, not to the activity it is carryng on,(mudguards, wheels design, etc).
 I guess the rail zug pulled the Skoda heavy howitzers when in rail transportatin mode.
Thank you for you opinion
Eduardo

The name B-Zug has confused me a bit. I think, that the Zugwagen in your photo ist the generatorwagen of the famous „Landwehr-Zug“ as it is called in german. It was an invented by Colonel „Ottokar Landwehr von Pagenau“. That train was a rail/ open road operating vehicle indeed, but had some differences to the C-Zug, which pulled the Skoda heavy guns.

Please look at the following links (Some Landwehr-trains with snowplow too !!!)

 Gentleman,
Thank you for your response, and apologies for my delayed response.
When I attached the image I assumed the so- called B Zug was the brainchild of Dr. Ferdinad Porsche,  from Österreicher Daimler, Wiener Neudstadt. Several differences in photos led me to think there were a  lot of versions,( some with  improvised thin corrugated metal as a roof, spocked or partly hollowed  wheels from different sizes, even variations in the mudguards shape,etc.) And endless list of variations, indeed.
At that time I was thinking that the subject of my investigation was always on the same subject.
 Now I checked up the excellent link you provided , and taking into consideration that your source... I am also a bit confused.
So we both are open to debate...
Again thak you very much
EDUARDO smile
