News 2024.04 - Vienna Light Railway
Unique opportunity!
The N railcars and the n trailer were used purely for light rail transport and on line 18G (1925-1961). The set of two railcars with a sidecar coupled in between is preserved in the Remise Transport Museum in very good condition to this day.

WLN-SET-M
The unique new edition of the highly detailed models of the Vienna city railway set is equipped with a bell anchor drive as befits its status, all cars are factory-fitted with magnetic couplers, fine sign panels and filigree metal grab irons, and are only offered as a set. A very small six-pin NEM651 interface was installed for simple digitalisation.
The three-car set was the shortest possible reversible train, but other train formations were also possible. Three working railcars were permitted in a train, they were only to be distributed as evenly as possible in the train formation. Classic trains were formed as N-n-n-n-n-N or even N-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-N. Only trains running between Hütteldorf-Hacking and Heiligenstadt did not necessarily need a railcar at the end of the train due to the turning loops there.
The specially developed vehicles of types N (180 units), n (150 units) and n1 (120 units) were used on the electric light railway. The modified type n1 differed from the first-built sidecars due to its slightly lower weight. The large order of 450 carriages was shared by Grazer Waggonfabrik, Simmeringer Waggonfabrik, Waggonfabrik Enzesfeld and Lohner-Werke, with the latter only contributing sidecars.The last day of operation was 3 April 1961.

The best S-Bahn ever!
The 481/482 series consists of electric railcars for conductor rail operation on the S-Bahn. With around 500 quarter trains, it is the most frequently used series of the S-Bahn Berlin. The first pre-series quarter train was presented to the public in 1996. As part of the ongoing refurbishment of the Longevity Project, it is planned to be in service until the 2030s. Since 2019, S-Bahn Berlin has been overhauling and modernising over three hundred quarter trains.

The first new tooling model of the year 2025!
With a length of 50 metres, the new generation of BVG trams clearly outshines all previous vehicles. The new trams - called Urbanliners - are largely produced by Alstom in Bautzen, Saxony. The exemplary 57cm (!) long models are manufactured by the Viennese model railway manufacturer HALLING Modelle on the outskirts of Vienna and steal the show from many of the models produced to date!

Cog railway points are back!
Since the summer of terror, it has been quiet around the small, cute cogwheel railway switches from FERRO-TRAIN. The already rather low stocks were quickly sold out and it has taken us the last few months to fulfil the remaining pre-orders. Now we can finally close a big gap - rack railway points are available again!
