Hello from Croatia!


I research history of Rijeka tram (Croatia).
I noticed than the first trams in Rijeka (build 8 pieces in 1899) ware weary similar to first Temisoara’s first tram’s. (type “A”) which was build in john Wietzer- Arad factory.
Until now I did not finde where produced tram from Rijeka.
I only know that the first tram’s from Rijeka have only one el. motor (type Walker which 17HP) and have capacity for 28 passenger (16 seats + 12 placed for standing).

1. I’m looking for someone who have more information about Temisoara’s first tram’s.

2. Can someone check in Temisoara’s archives if there have some more information’s or some blueprint about temisoara’s type “A”.

3. If exists some “lifer” list with data about every product of factory John Wietzer- Arad (today ASTRA)

Down is a tram from TEMISOARA:

Our forum members find in "Muzeul Banatului" a scale model of wagon with number 2. Here is a picture taken by me in the museum.

By the looks, they appear similar if not identical. Keeping in mind both cities were part of the Austro-Hungarian empire at that time, so it is possible that both cities imported from a common source.

Checking this topic I get the name of a certain "Felix Singer" from Berlin - can't find much about the man, though. Where did you get the information about Type A being produced in the Arad factory?

I found there some text about typ A.:

http://de.wikipedia...._Timi%C8%99oara)

Der Typ A der Straßenbahn Timișoara, im Folgenden auch A-Wagen genannt, ist ein ehemaliger ungarischer Straßenbahn-Triebwagen. Die insgesamt 17 Fahrzeuge dieses Typs verkehrten ab 1899 in der heute zu Rumänien gehörenden Stadt Timișoara, dieser Wagentyp existierte nur dort. Hergestellt wurden die normalspurigen Wagen von der Waggonfabrik János Weitzer aus dem nahen Arad. Die elektrische Ausrüstung der Wagen lieferte dabei die Elektrizitätsgesellschaft Felix Singer & Co aus Berlin zu.

Die A-Wagen waren die erste Generation elektrischer Straßenbahnwagen in Timișoara. Die Fahrzeuge wurden von der damaligen Temesvári Villamos Városi Vasút Részvénytársaság beschafft, als die seit 1869 bestehende Pferdebahn zum 27. Juli 1899 auf elektrischen Betrieb umgestellt wurde.
