News 2025.02 - Works loco ÖBB 052/S of the HW St. Pölten
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 models of the small, funny locomotive come from the small series workshop ‘1125’, from which we can still expect some uncompromising narrow gauge models. From the crane lifting points on the roof to the real wood battering ram on the frame, the model is as close as possible to the large prototype, only the drive is much more powerful! The specially developed bell-armature drive allows smooth running and a clear view of the locomotive body.
All models are equipped with white alternating lights and a six-pin NEM651 interface and can be fitted with an MX622N ex works. The dummy coupler sits at an exemplary height and can be easily converted for H0e shunting using the enclosed magnetic hook coupler adapter. Nothing else needs to be done, the model is delivered fully equipped!

Vienna tests the ‘Uber-ULF’!
The ULF (abbreviation for Ultra Low Floor) is a low-floor tram vehicle that was originally developed by SGP Verkehrstechnik GmbH and ELIN EBG Traction for Wiener Linien and was later taken over by Siemens. The innovative trams have been in service in Vienna and the university city of Oradea in Romania since the mid-1990s. Today, a highly unusual further development is coming from there to Vienna for its first test runs.
