News 2024.12 - KSW Woltersdorf/Berlin
A piece of contemporary history and not a bit tired!
The Woltersdorf tram is a standard-gauge interurban tram. It runs on the eastern outskirts of Berlin and connects the Berlin-Rahnsdorf railway station with the municipality of Woltersdorf in Brandenburg. Due to the scenic route, the tram also plays an important role in Berlin's excursion traffic. However, it mainly serves as a feeder line from Woltersdorf to the Berlin-Rahnsdorf S-Bahn station.

KSW-W07-M
Towards the end of the war, some of the carriages were damaged in air raids and could no longer be used. In order to maintain operations, the Woltersdorf tramway received the prototype of the Kriegsstraßenbahnwagen (KSW). The KSW with the number 7 arrived in Woltersdorf in mid-1944. At the end of the 1960s, three KSW sidecars each arrived from Magdeburg and Strausberg, including the sidecar that was later given the number 22 and is still operational today.
We offer the TW 7 and its sidecar 22 as a museum set in a classic set with closed doors. The subway car 7 can also be purchased individually, for the first time from HALLING models with doors open on one side, which fortunately allows a view of the fine metal grab rails in the entrance area. The models are produced in small series and are only available in very limited quantities. Make your purchase quickly if you would like us to send you a piece of Berlin history!

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.

A little piece of k.u.k. history!
After the revolution of 1848, Venice was no longer acceptable to the Austrian navy as the main war harbour. The choice was between expanding Trieste, which already had an efficient commercial harbour, or the small fishing town of Pola, which at the time only had around 900 inhabitants, but an almost perfect natural harbour.
