1. Bachmann Trains Motor trolley, ÖBB, Red Cross, white, Ep.VI

From 1957 onwards, the ÖBB-owned workshop in Wörth near St. Pölten, Lower Austria, produced motorized railway service vehicles of the series X 625 and X 626 in large numbers. These vehicles, known as "motorized draisines" or "motor railway cars," are primarily used in track service and continue to be in operation today. They can be found in various configurations with different trailers or railway service flatcars at nearly all train stations in Austria, operating on both standard gauge and narrow gauge tracks. They are also used by many private and museum railways. The difference between the X 625 and X 626 series is the installation of a more powerful engine in the X 626. The standard gauge vehicles can transport a maximum of two freight cars if needed, and are equipped with a central buffer coupling as well as a standard draw and buffing device. The narrow gauge vehicles only have the central buffer coupling. However, there are exceptions for former standard gauge draisines that have been converted to a 760 mm gauge, many of which are in operation on museum railways. The maximum speed of all vehicles is between 50 and 60 km/h. The X 501.6113, featuring advertising for the Austrian Red Cross, was converted from the former motorized draisine X 626.113 and put into service in Asparn an der Zaya as the first draisine control car in Austria. It is connected to a traction vehicle via a main air reservoir line and operates, for example, between Mistelbach and Asparn/Zaya as part of the Zayataler rail taxi service.

3. Bachmann Trains D shunting loco, 332 021-5, DB, orient red, Ep.V (old)

The company Gmeinder initially developed eight prototype locomotives, including three Köf 10 (later BR 331) and Köf 11 each. The power transmission was done via chains, which had already proven effective before. DB decided to procure the Köf 11, which later became the series 332. A total of 312 series locomotives were acquired. The first production series up to Köf 11 036 still featured the old standard locomotive lanterns of DB, while from Köf 11 037 onwards, new, permanently installed lamps were used. In addition to Gmeinder, the locomotive factories Jung Jungenthal and Orenstein & Koppel were involved in the construction of Köf 11. Starting in 1990, the machines were gradually retired due to the decline in freight and especially shunting traffic on the railways, with the last one, 332 262, officially leaving the DB fleet in 2002. However, a very large number of these machines found new roles with private and industrial railways or even with museum railways, where they are still in operation. The locomotive with the operating number 332 021-5 was delivered as Köf 11 021 with the factory number 5258 by Gmeinder in 1962 and was accepted on December 1, 1962. On January 1, 1968, it was renumbered to 332 021-5. Until 1981, it was stationed at Bw Stuttgart, until 1987 in Kornwestheim, until 1997 at Bw Singen, and from 1997 back at Bw Kornwestheim. It received its paint in Orient Red / Light Grey in July 1991.
