News 2025.12 - WR4ip/s 5702 „Lebkuchen-Kuchl“

The new Christmas wagon is here!

The Mariazellerbahn buffet car is now an integral part of NÖVOG's ‘Ötscherbär’ adventure train and offers a selection of drinks as well as savoury and sweet dishes from the region. It is included on all ‘Ötscherbär’ journeys and offers refreshments for passengers during the trip to Mariazell.

However, the idea of a buffet car on the Mariazellerbahn is not new. Under the management of the ÖBB in the 1980s, the ÖBB WR4ip/s 5702 was often coupled to the Mh.6 for Advent trips. Under the expert guidance of the Pirker family, young and old alike were able to decorate their own gingerbread, which was then baked in a specially installed oven.

The heavenly scent of gingerbread mingled with the hearty, infamous smell of coal on the Advent train – a real railwayman's Advent! The model of the now discontinued ‘Lebkuchen-Kuchl’ is available in a unique and very limited edition and fits in perfectly with the equally legendary and historically flexible models such as the ‘Vanillekipferl-Express’, the ‘Christkindl-Bimmelbahn’ and the ‘Christkindl-Postamt’.

Of course, the model comes with the recipe for authentic Mariazell gingerbread, so you can easily bring the wonderful atmosphere of the Mariazell Advent trip into your own home!

    Typically Viennese! Say what you like about us Viennese, but we know what we like and what we don't like! Back when ‘Der Ulf’ made its first rounds in Vienna with its unique design, highly innovative drive concept and the lowest entry height in the world, it was immediately clear to all of us that it was no good and would never be any good. The real trams we've been riding so far are much better, quieter, definitely more attractive and they even smell better.
