News 2024.02 - Vienna c2 trailer
The wild 1950s in Vienna!
The "Halbstarke", literally half-strengths, is an expression from the German-speaking countries of the 1950s. It was a colloquial and often derogatory term used to describe mostly male, working-class youths who had fallen prey to the harmful influences of rock 'n' roll.

From 1956 onwards, tramsets consisting of two-axle railcars with modern four-axle large-capacity trailers of types c2 or c3 were frequently used in Vienna, which were colloquially and often pejoratively referred to as "halbstarke" tramsets.
The new edition of the popular classic Viennese c3 trailer car from HALLING Modelle makes it possible for the very first time to recreate such a iconic set in a model. The highly elaborate and finely printed trailer with the car number 1110 can be combined with the already available type M railcar models in the correct period.
And thanks to the historically correct numbers and destination signs for railcars and sidecars, several typical semi-truck sets can be revived in a completely exemplary manner. Two further sidecars are in preparation and will be presented in the next few weeks. The number of each is very limited and it is unfortunately very unlikely that we will be able to issue the coaches again in this form. So get your hands on them quickly!

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!

The first trams in Graz!
The year was 1909, just four to five years after the last horse-drawn trams had been converted to electric multiple units and sidecars, and Grazer Waggon- und Maschinen-Fabriks AG (formerly Johann Weitzer) had just been incorporated! Its first prototypes, the railcars 71 to 76, went into operation after thorough testing, all the lines licensed at the time were completed and the Graz Tramway Company (GTG) received the first electric tramway sets specially manufactured for Graz.

The return of the narrow gauge!
After two years of sorrow, narrow gauge is finally returning to HALLING! It is with great pleasure that we can present the first two motorised H0e models! The approximately 11 km long Mixnitz-St. Erhard narrow gauge line was built in 1913 as part of the development of the magnesite deposits in Breitenau am Hochlantsch. The electric locomotives ‘E1’ and ‘E2’ with the Bo axle arrangement were used for the mixed operation of passenger and goods trains.
