Prototype Locomotives
| Vorbild Lokomotiven:
The following are the prototypes for engines running on our layout. All
models Märklin unless otherwise noted. Almost all prototype
images at the European Railway Server.
Folgende Modelle fahren auf unserer Anlage. Wenn
nicht anderes gekennzeichnet, sind alle Modelle von Märklin. Fast alle Vorbildaufnahmen sind beim
European Railway Server.

engine.

and "Blutblase" (Blood blister) because of its originally
dark red color and the distinctive shape of the front. Model by Brawa.

Road and rail bus developed for the DB for use on rural routes. The
bus featured jacks which lifted it so the rail bogies could be removed.
