News 2025.07 - The first E-Locos in Mixnitz – St. Erhard

Back to the past!

In February 2025, the narrow-gauge railway returned to HALLING in the form of two blue Mixnitz electric locomotive models. Today, history takes a step back into the past. The narrow-gauge Mixnitz-St. Erhard line, which is only 11 kilometres long, was built in 1913 as part of the development of the magnesite deposits in Breitenau am Hochlantsch. The two electric locomotives ‘Breitenau’ and ‘Hochlantsch’ with the Bo axle arrangement were delivered by AEG in the same year and used for mixed operation of passenger and goods trains.

The prototypically green painted locomotives with their neat decorative lines differ in numerous prototypical details and arrive fully equipped with reworked, hand-coloured accessories. The new bell-type armature drive not only provides smooth running characteristics but also plenty of space and a complete view through the driver's cab. The specially developed circuit board not only offers alternating light, but also the option of simply digitising the small engine or even equipping it with sound

The beginnings of the more than 30-year long and varied history of the Mixnitz models are no longer known. We only know that Leopold Halling Senior produced them, at that time still with white metal locomotive bodies, in 1996 for Stängl Modellbahnen and the following year for TiH0 Modelleisenbahnen. We have excellent news for all those who still own a model from the model railway neolithic era! The new drives with alternating light and, on request, factory digitisation are compatible! You can bring your model into the new millennium with a few simple steps and almost no tools!

    The first electric trams! The first Vienna tram line to be electrified by the Vienna Tramway Company (WT) was the ‘Northern Transversal Line’. This was a combination of sections previously operated as horse-drawn tramways, which Viennese people today associate with parts of lines 2, 5, or O. The prerequisite for the conversion was the construction of the Leopoldstadt power station, which initially supplied the necessary energy.

    Improved new edition of a legend! When it became apparent in the 1970s that freight and passenger transport on the StLB would have to be separated in order to reduce journey times, the management of the state railways decided to develop a railcar with diesel-electric power transmission. The contract for its manufacture was awarded to the Vienna-based company Knotz, which at that time was known for producing custom designs in rail vehicle construction, even in small quantities. The first railcar was delivered to the Murtalbahn in the fall of 1980. Many more examples of this vehicle family were to follow until 1999, going to the StLB, the Zillertalbahn, and the ÖBB.
