NEWS 2024.03 - Berlin Reko
The 69ers!
Rekowagen is a term coined in the GDR for two-axle tram vehicles rebuilt, i.e. reconstructed, at the Reichsbahnausbesserungswerk Berlin-Schöneweide, which were supplied in various designs from 1959 to 1975 to the Berlin transport companies in the eastern part of Berlin (BVG-Ost) and to other transport companies in the GDR.

REK-BZ4-SET-M
Due to the chassis-less design with simple suspension, the driving characteristics were legendary and the steps in the interior between the platform and the passenger compartment were often quite obstructive for changing passengers. But the Rekos are "Our Tram" for an entire generation and deserve a place on the podium for this reason alone.
At the Berlin terminus at Wasserwerk and in Altglienicke, it was still necessary to change trains due to the lack of a turning loop. For this reason, bi-directional Reko coaches were built in 1969 with the designation TZ 69 and BZ 69, which remained in service until 1996.
The Rekos have been produced by HALLING Modelle for almost as long and the sidecars for the cream-colored bidirectional railcars, which were previously out of stock, are currently being assembled. Who wants another one, who hasn't got one yet? Who knows when we will get around to reissuing the Berlin bidirectional recos?

Miniatures promotion! - Take 3 and pay 2!*
The miniatures from FERRO-TRAIN are finer, more colourful and more playful than the often rather clumsy street furniture of the competition. For several decades, they were assembled by our employees in small numbers, but always in several versions, with great joy and angelic patience, but that has now come to an end.

ÖBB 052/S - The apiary!
After ÖBB had closed the auxiliary workshop in Obergrafendorf and the maintenance of the narrow-gauge wagons was transferred to the main workshop in St. Pölten, there was a lack of a suitable shunting locomotive there in the spring of 1960. With the tried and tested confidence that makeshift is the longest lasting solution, a shunting tractor was quickly cobbled together from existing old materials. The engine came from a compressor, the gearbox from a standard-gauge tow train. The frame and the superstructure were built by themselves, based on the narrow-gauge wagons. After the ÖBB 052/S was taken out of service, the locomotive body was sold and served as an apiary in the Pielach Valley for many years!
