We used to call this railbus "Hurvínek". The units that replaced these had an engine from an actual bus and some are in service to this day in many different versions. Many people love to hate these railbusses, but they helped to preserve rural railways that would have been long closed without them.
As someone growing up on one of these rural railways who use 810 to get to school as kid I quite aoreciate it. And love them unconditionaly to this day.
I wonder how many nations did the same thing, it certainly happened in the UK with lorry engine and gearboxes then bus drivetrain, the frogs did too many drugs in the 60's and ended up with gas turbine railcars.
Not only the engine, but 4 speed hydromechanical transmision too, only the original reverse remained unused on this transmision box, and an another gearbox was added only for the purpose of reversing the direction of travel
If anyone is surprised that the government contracted Tatra to make these rail cars, one thing to remember is that for at least 20 years before they made their first automobile, Tatra had been prolific in making making railway rolling stock, which was a majority of their business for the automobile, and continued to be up until the 70s or 80s if I am not mistaken! So these little diesel railcars were by no means their first foray into the world of railways, but rather a continuation of their storied history of railway production!
Of course it's air cooled, of course it sounds beasty as hell, of course it's a Tatra engine. meanwhile in France many narrow gauge railcars made by Billiard or Renault had manual gearboxes too.
Poland also had diesel railcars of various manufacturers on the narrow gauge. Some were factory built, some were repurposed passenger cars, but even the factory-built ones could be very primitive, usually sporting an OHV diesel and a non-synchronized manual transmission straight from a truck. Some were even single-cab, requiring the railcar to be turned on a turntable or a track wye. Narrow gauge is a whole different "universe" than the standard railway in many respects.
In some depots train drivers called it "Tříruké hovado". It means something like a "three hand monster", because there were 3 levers on the main controll panel. 😆

4:47.... it does not only enhance relaibility, it also enhance passenger-confort (less motor speed, lesser loudness). So, as you meantioning, the train-engine for that vehicle, is reduced to even 155 HP and 1600 u/min. That is way less loud and intrusive running noise. Besides the possible fact, that for normal use, that power-mode is absolutely enough. And there is a phenomen at ship-diesel running (and noising). They rev even lower and with way higher displacement, it results in a hypnoticing deep rythmical noise...barely hearable (infrasound via resonance within the ships steel construction?). So, low revs are lesser stressing, because of that phenomen of deep frequencies and that rythmic sound.
Most of local railways this train was implemented don´t allow speeds over 60kph because sharp turns and many level crossings including dirtroads with no safety features.
It's really interesting that M131 (801) series is known not only in Czech and Slovak republic. And I'm happy that videos like this are produced, because it's really good work. Like and greetings from Jaroměř, Czech republic.

Small railcars like this existed in many countries, they were developed for those lines where passenger traffic wasn't enough to justify the use of full size steam or diesel locomotives with just 1 or 2 cars. That just wouldn't be economical. These little railcars with drive technology based on busses and trucks were much cheaper to build and operate and saved many branch lines from closure. For instance West Germany had the "Schienenbus" VT95 and VT98, East Germany the VT2.09 "Ferkeltaxen", Belgium the Class 551, 552 and 553 "Brossel" , and the Netherlands the omC and omBC "Ome Ceesje" to name a few, the UK had also diesel mechanical rail busses from 4 different manufacturers, but there they were less of a success.
@@PG-nf9wx the Desiro even feels like riding on a bus, as the ones in Romania have a regular automatic gearbox, albeit without the gears allowing for much RPM fluctuation
I remember a railbus - "ferrobus" - around Salamanca, in 1984. I was amazed to see the driver shifting gears. He was there for all to see, the whole thing was not much more than a bus with trainwheels.
the preselector manual gearbox was a British invention. Leyland was the first to implement that on mass. The routemaster bus also had a preselector manual gearbox. I remember from my youth that in Leyland/Daf public transport busses the driver had a pedestal wth a H pattern and small knob to preselect gears. (Leyland engine and drivetrain were build under license by DAF) Pushing the clutch pedal would engage the selected gear. Nowadays in modern manual truck gearboxes it can automaticly preselect and engage gears and act like an automatic. A manual gearbox is way more energy efficient then for example a classic hydraulic automatic gearbox.
In New Zealand we had the Vulcan Railcars from the 1940s to the 1970s. It was fascinating hearing these railcars going up through the gears after leaving the station.... One still holds the unofficial speed record for any train to this day... (narrow guage rail so not very fast..... 128kmh)
Until relatively recently (at least 2013) Cardiff, Wales, UK had a single-car manual gearbox diesel passenger train, running from Cardiff Queen St. to Cardiff Docks (the bay) - a single stop line.
In America we had, and in some places still have diesel railcars known as RDCs. They were diesel-hydralic (hydralic toruqe converter) as apposed to diesel-mechanical.
These days we just take 1 (or 2 with a shared mid bogie, superficially similar to an articulated bus) passenger rail car, put a bus engine with corresponding automatic transmission at each end-bogie, and are happy. Well, at least in Germany; Voith makes the transmissions as they do need some care for the rail use; the engines don't need notable engineering specialization for this usage, it seems. The gearing to the axle is typically a bit different as the wheel diameter and maximum speed differ from bus usage, but still....
In America A-lot of plymouth locomotives has Manuel's. With engine options such as v12's, v8's, I6's, v6's ect Some of these have has 357s and big blocks swapped into them!
1:41 The term Československé Štátne Dráhy is in the Slovak language. In Czech language it is Československé Státní Dráhy. The difference is in the words: Státní - Štátne. And in the pronunciation...
@@STFDVC1 railway actually translates to "železnice". "Dráha", literally meaning track or path, is term for various types of transport relying on fixed paths, like different types of railways cableways or trolleybus networks - some of them were managed by ČSD alongside the railway network.
@@Papinak2 I indeed thought it meant something similar to german "bahn". I am looking to come to Praha and load the car on the train, heading to Košice. One of the few automobile-trains left in Europe... This would be my first time on the C. S. Dráhy
Poland produced few railcars with mechanical transmission in the '90 even. With automatic gearboxes though. They were basicly draisine frame with passenger compartment added.
None of such vehicles were made. First, the (very late) attempt at a light diesel railcar was class SN81, which was bascially a repurposed maintenance-of-way wehicle, with *manual* transmission and only the heading unit was operational during a ride, there was no multiple control. A very makeshift solution to an important problem. Later on this... "thing" served as the basis for its sucessor SA104, which was made in one example before further orders were cancelled, and this one has an automatic transmission (ZF) indeed, as well as more serious carbody construction and interior equipment. There were also SA101 and SA102 diesel units, but these were designed from ground-up, also with automatic transmission, but the production count was also very low before the production was cancelled.
Tatra (1850) like Skoda (1859) were already wellknown industrial manufacturers when the Chzech republic was still a part of the Austrian Hungarian empire. Today Tatra ( who went bankrupt in the 2013 due to a corruption scandal in India) is after a restart and partly owned by PACCAR/DAF specialised in the niche heavy duty off road for construction/mining sites and military truck market. Tatra came in the picture after PACCAR/DAF searched for a new partner after GINAF (in the same niche market) went bankrupt and was sold of to the Chinese. Military contracts and outside the west/NATO owner was an absolute no go for US parent company PACCAR. Fun fact the former warsaw pact countries had mostly the famous Tatra trams. The former western NATO countries are getting more and more Skoda trams/regional trains.
Another fun fact: Skoda Group/Skoda transportation, who makes the trams and trains, has nothing to do with the Skoda car manufacturer - these companies were split during communist era (with couple of other subsidiaries), but both had right for the trademark after the communism fell. Recently, Skoda auto bozght exclusive rights for the logo, so Skoda Transportation will rebrand in the coming years.
Actually, there is a much bigger hungarian railcar, with semi-manual gearbox. The clutch is not really manual but pneumatic, it can be used in slip mode in first gear to get it move, and every other gears with pre-selected fuel load in in the actual gear. Its engine is about 65.000 cubic centimetres in 12 cylinders, driving the output shaft via a 6 disc lamelled clutch. Well, this old lady has a very good sound
Manual transmissions in rail vehicles isn't that uncommon, though mostly limited to very light, narrow guage applications. There was a Hungarian narrow guage loco that I think used the trans from a Csepel truck. It had the standard 4 or 5 speed transmission with a 2 speed range box, and even had the reverse on the transmission, despite that being irrelevant since rail vehicles have reversers to allow same speed travel in either direction anyway.

In 1988 I was on a train in Scotland that was a manual shift 3 speed maybe more but it never got above 3. Learned much later it was probably a Gardner diesel motor. It vibrated like crazy and rattled the whole car. A fun experience.
It put some character. Nice rail car. Not many examples of diesel "mechanical" (gearbox) trains. Here there are some small 2 coach trains with scania engine and trans. I think it is kinda of AT transmission. They are like this ones, for small towns that are far from any rail network. Mostly used in light applications.. Ive heard they have experienced driveshaft issues. It is not that easy to get this thing right.
Air cooled anything has larger clearances piston to cylinder built in.(more expansion/contraction with air cooling Plus whether you burn diesel or sump oil...the diesel doesn't care...it burns both. And ATF and hydraulic fluid and peanut/soy/banana/vegetable oils... Plus we are now looking at 80 years of wear and tear on those engines...?
Having bus or truck engines and transmissions on small regional trains is nothing new or unheard of. Many use a torque converter transmission from a city bus
I've been a huge fan of ČD railways and the former ČSD Railways also, i did not know the hurvínek has a manual gearbox until now, also what caused the noise of the ticking sound in every train that has a steering throttle?
You mean as the throttle was moved? Probably a spring mechanism winding up to capture force that automatically returned the throttle to closed when the throttle was released (like a "dead man's device?)

In 1988 I was on a train in Scotland that was a manual shift 3 speed maybe more but it never got above 3. Learned much later it was probably a Gardner diesel motor. It vibrated like crazy and rattled the whole car. A fun experience.
Out of balance Gardners were few and far between....
something wrong there
might also account for no exceeding 3rd gear...
Probably not Gardner. More likely Leyland or AEC. Some parts of the country also used Rolls Royce

Impressive. Europe ftw
This isn't a train. This is a bus with train wheels
Good video, like.

It put some character. Nice rail car. Not many examples of diesel "mechanical" (gearbox) trains. Here there are some small 2 coach trains with scania engine and trans. I think it is kinda of AT transmission. They are like this ones, for small towns that are far from any rail network. Mostly used in light applications.. Ive heard they have experienced driveshaft issues. It is not that easy to get this thing right.
Czechia mentioned!!!
Proletarian version of other Tatra's railcar "Slovenská strela".
3:29 It must be hard to shift all those levers AND steer
steer 😂
Love it. 👍
Wonder why Tatra diesels have always made that thick blue smoke
Air cooled anything has larger clearances piston to cylinder built in.(more expansion/contraction with air cooling
Plus whether you burn diesel or sump oil...the diesel doesn't care...it burns both.
And ATF
and hydraulic fluid
and peanut/soy/banana/vegetable oils...
Plus we are now looking at 80 years of wear and tear on those engines...?
@@JohnSmith-pl2bk Deutz air-cooled engines does not smoke that much.
most european countries had railbusses post ww2 as they where an economic way of keeping smaller passenger lines open.
The only real railbus
Technically, Its semi-auto. Also, do note that this boxer engine is literally an evolution of German ww2 production.
There´s no boxer engine?
Yes not a boxer but a 75 degree v12.
., vývoj TATRA před válkou , ty německý boxere. Jsi hloupý.
They'd have loved the Pacer trains from the UK.
VELKÁ BRITÁNIE bombardovala a zabíjela společně s AMERIČANY naší zem v roce 1945 . Nemůžeš milovat vrahy.
Having bus or truck engines and transmissions on small regional trains is nothing new or unheard of.
Many use a torque converter transmission from a city bus
That's the case for successor of this railcar, 810 series had geartrain from ŠM-11 city bus.
It only have a single pair of powered wheel?
yes
También hay un parecido tren DMU class 101 en Reino Unido....
US is like twice the size of europe my guy
Didn't they use a similar prime mover of also Tatra design and similar transmission in the earlier M.120 class?
Yea just normal czech retro train
This train Is in my country (i'm czech)
I've been a huge fan of ČD railways and the former ČSD Railways also, i did not know the hurvínek has a manual gearbox until now, also what caused the noise of the ticking sound in every train that has a steering throttle?
You mean as the throttle was moved?
Probably a spring mechanism winding up to capture force that automatically returned the throttle to closed when the throttle was released (like a "dead man's device?)
@@JohnSmith-pl2bk dead man pedal.
Those engines smoke very badly... 🤭
80 years old.......parts NLA?
@@JohnSmith-pl2bk They smoke on the archive footages as well. Back then they were new...
@@janosnagyj.9540
Poor quality sump oils and fuels let alone machining tolerances compared to present days....
Československé státní dráhy, nikdy ne slovensky.
Are you from Czechoslovakia, Slovakia or Czech ? You pronouced the ČSD very well.
Slovakia
@@VisioRacer Já si to myslel :D
I want a train you can shift gears in
How about the dm3 from derail valley
Γεια
can it do burnouts?
Iam curious too!!
Wind it up in first gear and sidestep the clutch. Er...side handwave the clutch?
Ofc! Shift into 1st gear and then pull the throttle to max
It is very ugly when compared to the Swedish model we chose here in Denmark in the early fifeties suplementing our teak clad pre war triangel cars
is there a HO model of this?
Found that they are made on order by Czech enthusiasts. Try search for "Hurvínek H0"
US, Canada, Russia, India, China and Australia aren't only mass operator of diesel-electric locomotives. UK has a large fleet of them, too.
What is a "semeye truck"?
C'mon, do you have to pick in him when you realize English isn't his mother tongue...? Not everyone is fortunate to have been born in an English-speaking country. FYI - SEVERAL times a week I observe comments in various forums written by naturally born American or British English speaking people that contain OBVIOUS misspellings or errors in syntax. Still I - as an alien - don't reach out to correct them. It's called politeness
