The refurbished small RB (Réseau Breton) draisine Dm 2/2 N° 3 "Biniou" of the Blonay-Chamby railway is on a test drive in Blonay, it will be on the weekend of 7th/8th.

(ID 52747)



The refurbished small RB (Réseau Breton) draisine Dm 2/2 N° 3  Biniou  of the Blonay-Chamby railway is on a test drive in Blonay, it will be on the weekend of 7th/8th. Sept. officially put back into operation and presented to guests. 

In addition, the Dm 2/2 has been with the B-C for a very long time, as the following comments show: 

Around fifteen handcars from the company “Billard”, a renowned French railcar manufacturer, were in use on the almost 400 km long route network in Brittany.
An ingenious device of movable rails mounted on a pivot point allows the trolley to be turned around to change direction or parked on a section of track next to the main track to clear the track for trains. 

In 1968, Blonay-Chamby in Loudeac removed some vehicles from the Breton network as they were being dismantled. Since there was still a small space available on the transport wagons, it was decided at the last moment to also take trolley number 3, which was available at the station, with us.  This draisine, called “Le Biniou” in BC, will be used for the initial maintenance work between Blonay and Chamby and also for the dismantling of the line between St-Légier and Châtel-St-Denis. It is later taken out of service after it is damaged. Some thirty years later, the arrival of a new member, a retired auto mechanic, brought this vehicle back to life. Since the original “Renault Frégate” engine was beyond repair, a Peugeot J9 engine was adapted to it.

Recently revised, the Dm 2/2 N° 3 will be on the 7th/8th. Will be used in September 2024.

 Swiss Steam Festival 2025  - The steam locomotives will be  dismantled  in Chaulin, and, as has been the custom in recent years, electric vehicles will take over the last trains: In Blonay, RhB Bernina Bahn Ge 4/4 81 of the Blonay Chamby Railway waits with its train for departure to Chaulin.

Swiss Steam Festival 2025 - As far as I knew, this train was supposed to run with the LEB G 3/3 No. 5. In addition, the paddle steamer  La Suisse  suffered damage, forcing the steamship to spend an extended time in the shipyard—a rather unfortunate event for steam in the region. But I was, of course, very happy to be able to photograph the beautiful RhB Bernina Bahn Ge 4/4 81 of the Blonay-Chamby Railway in good light on the renovated Baye de Clarens Viaduct.
