Treinstellen en railbussen - Polen: boeken - historie
Boeken over de historie, types en techniek van treinstellen en railbussen van de PKP (Polskie Koleje Państwowe) en andere spoorwegmaatschappijen in Polen.
Lux-torpeda PKP
The book is devoted to the most famous motor carriages in the history of the Polish State Railways, which, due to their streamlined shape and high speed, were commonly called "lux-torpedoes". In 1936, five such units were built by the "First Lokomotive Factory in Poland S.A." in Chrzanów, on the basis of a license purchased from the "Austro-Daimler-Puch" company.
These units have become a synonym of modern Polish railways, and despite the fact that more than 50 years have passed since the last one was scrapped, the memory of these legendary motor wagons has survived to this day. The book describes the history of the SAx series carriages and their design. The content is supplemented by numerous archival photographs and drawings.

This book presents all series of narrow-gauge motor carriages used in Poland from 1926 to the beginning of the 21st century, on railways with track widths: 600, 750, 785, 800 and 1000 mm. There are wagons built both in Poland (by factories and by the "economic method" by narrow-gauge railroad workshops), as well as those purchased abroad and taken over in 1945 from German railways.
The construction of individual series of wagons is described and, if possible, the fate of individual wagons. In total, there were over 130 diesel carriages on the narrow tracks in Poland. At the moment there are only a few active, and a few cars are preserved in closed museum.
