News 2024.12 - Fourth Advent
The new one!
Many of you have been wondering what's next. The fourth candle of the Advent wreath is a brand new H0e model from the brand new brand Mostviertler Schmalspurmodelle. We know from reliable sources that Mostviertler still has a lot planned and has already started production.

But first to more important topics: Mostviertler Glühmost, a regional product made from Mostviertler Speckbirne cider, is widely known and has been used for centuries to drive away the gloom of cold winter evenings and to promote social intercourse!
To close the circle, we have once again included a recipe with the special model of the MSB ‘Glühmost Schenke’, which was kindly provided by Maria Hauer from Mostviertler Mostheurigen Hauer in 3300, Ardagger Stift. Enjoy yourselves!
The first model of the Mostviertel narrow gauge models is based on the wonderful new H0e barrel-roof coaches from the traditional Austrian brand Roco and rounds off the Christmas train perfectly. It also marks the start of a new series of H0e models, which we are delighted to announce, will once again be available from Halling.

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.
