News 2025.01 - Tramway Pula
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.

OLD-PL3-M2
Emperor Franz Joseph I was familiar with the ‘Pola Bay’ and probably played an important personal role in the decision in favour of Pola. In the years that followed, Pula experienced a boom that was almost exclusively due to its expansion into Austria's main war harbour. The railcars were supplied by the Graz Waggon- und Maschinenfabrik! The tramway was initially very successful and the network was extended in the years leading up to the First World War, so that the tramway ultimately had three lines.
The first delivery series of the Tw 1 and Tw 3 models sold out all too quickly and many interested parties have been waiting patiently for the new edition for almost two years. Once again, we can now offer you this little piece of imperial and royal history for your home. Whether as a high-quality stand model for your diorama or as a motorised model for your layout, the models impress with their asymmetrical window blinds, the finest stage grilles and exemplary old Austrian lettering!

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.
