Restoration of trailer car 113 - Schöneiche tram 88 - Part 1 (2024)The historic trailer car 113 of the Schöneicher-Rüdersdorfer tram (SRS), which matches the self-built railcar 73 from 1974, is finally being repaired. 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 By the 1960s, these vehicles had become outdated and experienced high wear and tear.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 Rüdersdorfer Tram 88 nearby Berlin (2011)The tram line in Schöneiche-Rüdersdorf runs along the border of Berlin, with part of it operating within Berlin's territory. It has 1000mm tracks, while Berlin's are 1435mm; there is no connection between the two systems, even though both serve the Friedrichshagen S-Bahn station. The tram system started in 1910 with benzene-powered locomotives and trailers and was electrified in 1912. In 1977, it was extended to Alt-Rüdersdorf; previously, this stop was in Kalkberge. Since 1929, no new trams have been purchased; instead, used trams from other cities have been acquired. During GDR times, Reko and Gotha trams operated, followed by the Tatra KT4D from Cottbus, and since 1999, DUEWAG GT6 from Heidelberg. In 2009, they bought a Tatra KTNF6 from Cottbus, which has been in operation since 2010, and they are interested in acquiring two more. With four trams needed on weekdays, there’s potential to provide 75% low-floor service in the future. They intended to modernize and rebuild their old KT4D trams into KTNF6 models in the mid-90s, but Mittenwalder Gerätebau went bankrupt, and this plan was abandoned. However, the tram depot was already prepared for this tram type, which benefits current operations. While KTNF6 trams improve passenger comfort, the network needs to accommodate unidirectional vehicles. Several years ago, plans were made to extend the Friedrichshagen terminus to the other side of the road. This was necessary because there are no traffic lights or pedestrian crossings, which could be dangerous when connecting the S-Bahn station and the tram. Attempts to connect the Berlin network with the SRS were not realized. Instead, a third rail was planned to be built to the SRS depot for a turning loop for Berlin trams.By Klingl3r - November 23, 2011.

Ride along | Düwag GT6 | Line 88 | Schöneiche, Jägerstraße - S Friedrichshagen (2023)The Düwag GT6 also runs on the 88 student booster between Friedrichshagen and Jägerstraße, they have been with the SRS for much longer, and also used vehicles, and was from Heidelberg. On May 6, 2024, its service life ended tragically. On Kalkberger Straße, this car drove into an ex-Mühlheimer. The Mühlheim car with the number 78 was less damaged, but the GT6 Düwag suffered more damage, which is why it has now been decommissioned.By ÖPNV WELT - March 17, 2023.

Restoration of trailer car 113 - Schöneiche tram 88 - Part 3 (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 gain some insight into the work, along with background information, from the weld seam to the ride. On the canal, you can also often see a view of neighboring Woltersdorf. We urgently need donations to be able to present the car in a roadworthy condition again: Tram 88 e.V. Sparkasse Märkisch-Oderland IBAN DE41 1705 4040 3000 0074 30 Hello, friends. I have a quick update to share with you today. The first work session of the new year is underway, and we're getting started. Many parts need to be screwed, welded, or drilled out. Fortunately, only one spring under the balance beam was broken. That saved us a lot of time. However, we now need to get the same spring again. That’s proving to be more challenging than expected, but luckily, Marvin found another one. The small parts of the bogies have already been sandblasted and now need rust protection, so everyone is busy painting. Martin found a corner and is carefully coloring it, noting down mistakes. Our new spring is now being coated with a nice black finish. The highlight of the day was the visit from Kerstin Ewald, a reporter for the mods. There was also a little surprise for her — she was allowed to visit the towing vehicle of our sidecar. You can see how it is. She was especially impressed by the remarkable noise from car 73, so stay tuned.By Sebastian Schüßler - February 2, 2024.
