Restoration of trailer car 113 - Schöneiche tram 88 - Part 4 (2024)The historic trailer car 113 of the Schöneicher-Rüdersdorfer tram (SRS), which matches the self-built railcar 73 from 1974, is now finally being repaired. You can learn about the work, along with background information, from the weld seam to the ride. Along the canal, you can also often see a view of neighboring Woltersdorf. We urgently need donations to be able to restore the car to roadworthy condition: Tram 88 e.V. Sparkasse Märkisch-Oderland IBAN DE41 1705 4040 3000 0074 30 Hello friends, today I feel a bit empty, and that is, as you can see, because the body of the 113 is pretty empty. Recently, extensive dismantling has been undertaken to repair the damaged basic structure. Since there is no comprehensive technical documentation, we will first complete half of it to create a template for the restoration. The result looks pretty good after all. Yes, that's what it used to look like. After removing the floor, there weren't any magnificent views. Even when the last interior paneling could be persuaded to be removed, there was plenty of new work to be done. For the doors to be repaired, they also had to be persuaded to leave the car. That was the usual picture. Unfortunately, the only things that help are vacuuming and sanding. On the outside, there was a double layer of sheet metal, which was covered with a decorative strip. These areas are always badly affected by rust. We try to save what we can, and so we decided to cut off the upper side, preserve everything, and then reattach the piece. If it is not primed or painted, then it will be cut out, sanded, and welded. Well, that's something to be proud of. Just a short time later, the attachments could be adjusted again. At this point, our reserves are being depleted slowly. To continue, we urgently need your help. Please donate so that the 113 can drive again. Until then, it is still a long way to go.By Sebastian Schüßler - May 7, 2024.

You can learn about the work and background from the weld seam to the ride. On the canal, you often get a view of neighboring Woltersdorf as well. We urgently need donations to restore the car to roadworthy condition: Tram 88 e.V. Sparkasse Märkisch-Oderland IBAN DE41 1705 4040 3000 0074 30 Hello friends, we'd like to share with you a little about the resurrection of something very special: the self-built trailer 1003. I will now give a brief introduction to this topic. Four years after opening, electric operation was introduced in Schöneiche in 1914. For a long time, the VI interurban vehicles, built from 1914 until the late 1920s, carried most of the passenger traffic. By the 1960s, these vehicles had become outdated and experienced high wear and tear. New cars were not an option due to their operational design, and continued operation was at risk multiple times. Now, the small company decided to take matters into its own hands and build new trams. The output is truly remarkable; however, resources were limited. A total of five motor cars and three trailers were built. The last of this series to be completed was trailer 113. Two additional vehicles were planned, but they never entered service, as shown in this picture. The car can still be seen painted blue. During its first major inspection in 1982, it was given a creamy white finish with a red belly band. Car 113 was always recognizable by two special features. First, it was the only one to have doors on both sides. Second, not only was the car body new, but the bogies were also newly built. All other vehicles, including the railcars, used old bogies with leaf springs. On the 113, only the axles were old. Coil springs replaced the hard leaf springs, giving the car a unique suspension and driving feel that passengers greatly appreciated. At the time of reunification, the vehicle was retired and remained unused for many years. The reason for its retirement was a broken load beam. Whether this was justified can be seen in the following video, which contains many moving images. In 2023, the car was in poor condition. Water had penetrated through the defective roof, causing significant damage. A few tram enthusiasts could no longer bear to see it in this state, so they began refurbishing it. The project has produced a very respectable interim result, and we will keep you updated. Stay tuned.By Sebastian Schüßler - January 12, 2024.

Schöneiche Rüdersdorf tram - ride in the driver's cab (2016)The Schöneiche-Rüdersdorf tram (SRS) connects Berlin with Schöneiche and Rüdersdorf on its 14.1 km long meter-gauge route. It has the number 88 and runs every 20 minutes on weekdays. The KTNF6 (ex Cottbus) and the GT6 (ex Heidelberg) are used alternately. We travel the route from Rüdersdorf to Berlin in the latter.By Strassenbahnfreak - August 12, 2016.

Tram Duewag M6C-NF ride SRS Line 88 (2023)It's great that the M6C-NF buses are in Schöneiche. Do you happen to know whether they're still using the Ruhrbahn iBis device to display the signs, or if they're using a printer instead? I don't think the M6C-NF buses really fit the 88 bus route.By Berliner 1995 - May 24, 2023.
