Comment: Train Set with a Class ET 194 Powered Freight Rail Car In 1930 the Lokalbahn Aktien-Gesellschaft (LAG) München / Munich Local Railroad, Inc. (LAG) treated itself to a small powered freight rail car for the freight service on its 5.206 km / 3.254 mile long electrified line (550 volts DC) Türkheim - Bad Wörishofen. This LAG 895 was built by MAN/SSW from an old baggage car whereby the two wheel sets were each driven by a self-cooled DC series motor. There was a large baggage area between the two engineer's cabs, and it was accessible from both sides by a sliding door. Starting resistors and the compressed air equipment were installed in two boxes in the load area. The route Türkheim - Bad Wörishofen was opened on August 15, 1896 by the privately owned Localbahn Actiengesellschaft Wörishofen / Wörishofen Local Railroad Company and was among the first electrified railroads in Germany. The famous priest and hydro therapist Sebastian Kneipp initiated and promoted the railroad. He was hoping for a boom for this health resort by connecting Wörishofen to the large, wide world of railroading. The Wörishofen Local Railroad Company was dissolved as early as 1905 and the railroad came under the Fittiche group of the Munich Local Railroad, Inc. (LAG). The financially crippled LAG was nationalized on August 1, 1938 and the Bad Wörishofen route with its motive power and rolling stock thereby became part of the German State Railroad (DRG). With the outbreak of World War II, electric operations on this route had to be halted on September 12, 1939 due to the neighboring airport. The former LAG 895 (starting in 1940/41: ET 194 11) thereby lost its reason for existence and was put in storage. In 1943, it went to the former LAG route Bad Aibling - Feilnbach. It remained there but also in storage, and was finally scrapped in 1947. Naturally, LAG 895 also served as a powered rail car to pull other cars, and thus the acid container car for the firm Kali-Chemie AG Berlin and a type "Ghs Oppeln" boxcar form an absolutely prototypical consist. The pot container cars for the transport of (dangerous) chemicals were as a rule equipped with twelve earthenware pot containers, each good for 1,000 liters / 264.17 gallons, which soon gave them the nickname "Twelve Apostles Cars". The freight car type "Oppeln" owed its existence to the DRG's call for higher speeds in less-than-carload-lot service. The long wheelbase of 6,000 mm / 19 feet 8-1/4 inches allowed a reliable maximum speed of 90 km/h / 56 mph for the "Oppeln". The newly applied welding technology with its associated savings in weight led to an increase in the load weight. Twenty eight thousand of this freight car type were built by 1943. A notable characteristic of the type was the high quality truss rod frame necessary due to the long wheelbase.

Comment: T22279/T22278, M36630/36631 - Class 187 (Traxx AC3) With the road number 145 001 ADtranz (currently Bombardier) presented the first unit of a new locomotive generation on July 10, 1997 that later developed into the TRAXX family. Upon being delivered, it was impossible to deny the close relationship of the class 145 units to the class 101 express locomotives. Due to the lower maximum speed of 140 km/h / 91 mph, the class 145 locomotives were equipped with a less costly drive system suspended from the axles with built-in three-phase motors. The monitoring of the wheel sets in a truck were controlled and supplied with power jointly with a rectifier. The longitudinal forces between the trucks and the locomotive body were transmitted by low mounted drawbars and pressure bars. The DB put 80 units into service by the end of 2000 and another 31 units as the class 146.0 for regional passenger service. ADtranz presented the dual system locomotive, road number 185 003 (TRAXX AC1), on July 11, 2000 as an improved version that could also be used on catenary for 25 kilovolts / 50 hertz. Essential changes concerned the transformer, the roof being lowered by 105 mm / 4-1/8 inches, being equipped with train safety technology for different railroads as well as the installation of four pantographs. Delivery of the regular production class 185 took place in the first half of 2001. In addition to privately owned transportation companies, SBB Cargo also placed these units in service as the class 482, BLS Cargo as the class 485, and the CFL as the class 4000. Starting in 2005, the DB took delivery of another reworked version of the class 185, beginning with road number 185 201, with an altered locomotive body improved for crashes. A run of 206 units were delivered by September of 2010 - the TRAXX AC2. The classes 146.2/3 followed for the DB regional passenger service. Privately owned transportation companies, SBB Cargo (class 482.2), and the Hungarian MAV (class 480) also purchased these units. The TRAXX MS2, designated as the class 484 for SBB Cargo, followed as a dual system variation for DC and AC systems (Italy/Switzerland). The four-system locomotive TRAXX MS2e came into existence starting in 2006 for all of the commonly used current systems in Europe. This locomotive includes the twenty DB units designated as road numbers 186 321-340, the class 486 of BLS Cargo, the class E 186 of the NS, as well as the class E 186 of COBRA. In addition, there were still the pure DC versions TRAXX DC for various privately owned transportation companies. In 2011, Bombardier finally presented the latest TRAXX generation - the AC3. From a technical point of view, there was little new, because merely new control software was implemented. The spectacular feature was the optional "Last Mile" function, a diesel motor that could be integrated later (Deutz 2013 BR-4V) with 230 kilowatts / 308 horsepower performance that could be used to bridge sections of track without catenary. This saves the use of a diesel switch engine because the AC3 can still reach up to 50 km/h / 31 mph and can pull trains with up to 2000 metric tons for eight to ten hours. Externally there are significant modifications on the AC3: ribbed side walls due to less costly construction. These walls can be covered with a so-called interchangeable Flex Panels (roll curtains made of canvas) and can thus be adapted at any time to the design wishes of the current operator. The move away from a smooth end shows the new GFK end module with the design, which is put over the end of the steel locomotive body like a mask. The DB is currently taking delivery of three classes: the 187.1 (without Last Mile for freight service), the 147.0 (regional passenger service), and the 147.5 (long-distance passenger service). The AC3 with "Last Mile" has recently brought several privately owned transportation companies and leasing companies into its roster, such as Railpool, which is currently leasing road numbers 187 004-008 to BLS Cargo.

An AC model can be found in the Märklin H0 assortment under item number 36630.

Comment: Early German Federal Railroad Flagship Train and the Wonder of Bern. The first five sets of the VT 08 express powered rail car trains were available to the German Federal Railroad as early as the summer schedule of 1952. The thoughts given to the new development of diesel powered rail car trains with hydraulic transmissions went all the way back to the foundation of the German Federal Railroad. Thus, thirteen three-unit trains from the first production series were built by 1953 for important long distance express passenger service as part of the new construction program. Another six engine cars with dining car arrangements and seven intermediate cars were added by 1954 in the second production run. These units were used primarily to lengthen the existing trains to four and five-unit consists with powered end cars at both ends. The modern, comfortable VT 08 represented the epitome of the new German Federal Railroad and enjoyed great popularity among the passengers. The smooth rounded form of the ends of the train quickly led to the nickname "Egg Heads". These deluxe trains provided service on long distance routings with sonorous names such as "Rheinblitz", "Münchner Kindl", "Roland", "Schauinsland", or "Saphir". These fast trains were also used on foreign routes such as the "Paris-Ruhr" (Dortmund-Paris) as well as the "Helvetia" (Hamburg-Zürich). The heyday for the VT 08 extended well into the Sixties. After electrification of many major routes, the VT 08 trains were still used partially in TEE service. Later, these trains were rebuilt to simpler standards for plain fast train service.

Comment: Class 50 Steam Freight Locomotive The class 50 locomotive came into being shortly before the start of World War II as the last of the so-called "standard design steam locomotives". From April to July of 1939 Henschel built the first twelve locomotives which were soon destined to become the German State Railroad's most successful design, because this 2-10-0 locomotive with its approximately 1,600 horsepower and 80 km/h / 50 mph speed quickly became a general-purpose, sturdy, reliable unit. The outbreak of war on September 1, 1939 caused a leap in the demand for freight locomotives, and the twelve pre-production locomotives were followed by another 3,152 units over the course of the next few years. After the end of the war the DB had more than 2,000 units, which were gradually equipped with the small Witte smoke deflectors in place of the large Wagner units, and which mostly lost the running board skirting. The so-called freight train baggage cars were not available in sufficient quantities and caused a big problem on freight trains in the Fifties. Finally, the idea came about of installing a cabin on the tenders of 751 of the class 50 units for the train crews. Two large windows ensured a good view to the rear of the train and inside the cabins, there was still room for large work surfaces with table lamps, upholstered folding seats, two emergency seats, a folding washbasin, a ceiling light, two shelves, steam heating, hot plates for heating meals, a water container, and clothing hooks. The class 50 units with or without cabin tenders remained "the" all-round steam locomotives for freight and passenger trains on main and branch lines right up to the end of the steam locomotive era in 1977.

Comment: Trix 22974 / Märklin 39974 - Class 701 Powered Catenary Maintenance Rail Car With advancing electrification, powered catenary maintenance rail cars for maintenance work on the electrified route network took on increasing importance on the new German Federal Railroad. Starting in 1954, the firm Waggon- und Maschinenbau GmbH in Donauwörth (WMD) working in a contract and in close cooperation with the German Federal Railroad`s central office in Munich therefore developed the so-called standard powered catenary maintenance rail car (TVT, also VT 55 or VT 93, from 1968 on: 701). These units made wide use of design elements of the two-motor VT 98 rail busses. Since there was no question of electrical propulsion, combustion motors were selected as a source of propulsion. Two Büssing motors (type U9A) each with a performance of 95.5 kilowatts / 128 horsepower were still sufficient for the running gear on the first production series (701 001-010 and 024). On all of the successor series the two water-cooled motors mounted below the floor (Büssing type U10) with a total performance of 300 horsepower / 221 kilowatts were the same as the motors for the VT 98 (798). A special rpm speed regulator allowed a constant "creeping speed" of 5 km/h / 3 mph. The drive systems mounted in the frame were analogous to the VT 98 and were designed for a trailing load of 40 metric tons. In addition, this powered rail car could be used in switching maneuvers with a total trailing load of 200 metric tons. To do this the unit was equipped with standard drawbar and buffer equipment of a standard lightweight construction. There was a workshop between the two cabs of about 26 square meters / 260 square feet area, where you could climb into the viewing cupola to observe the catenary. In addition, there was a specially protected roof exit as well as a pantograph on the roof for grounding and testing. In the middle of the roof was a platform with almost 6 square meters / 60 square feet of area that could be raised and lowered in height and turned from side to side. It could be raised up to one meter / 39 inches. An extendable ladder was also present on this platform, and it could be used for work up to 15 meters / about 48 feet in height. A speaker system was installed for communication between the cab, the lookout, and the lifting platform. The car also had compressed air disk brakes, cold water heating, and two separate 12 volt power supply systems. By 1974, the DB purchased 162 dual-motored powered catenary maintenance rail cars, which were given the class designation 701 starting in 1968. Originally, all of the powered catenary maintenance rail cars had a crimson paint scheme (RAL 3004). Starting in 1975, they were successively repainted in the customary "Gold Yellow" (RAL 1004) as part of major maintenance for DB maintenance units. Starting in 2002, a lack of spare parts and the advanced age of the units led to many being retired, which was completed in 2013 with the last powered catenary maintenance rail car being put into storage. Numerous class 701 units were sold to private railroad companies and museum railroads. They are thus now and then still in use for everyone to admire.

Comment: IC 690 "Hohenstaufen" The German Federal Railroad (DB) introduced its new service "InterCity 71" on September 26, 1971 and thereby hit the bull's eye. First class Intercity trains now ran in a rigid system of four lines that were served on approximate two-hour schedules. The really special feature of the IC system was (and still is today with the ICE/IC system) in the linking of the lines with the possibility of direct transfer connections on the same platform. This provided a great surface effect: Dortmund and Cologne offered the possibility of direct transfer between Lines 1 and 2, in Mannheim the trains for Lines 1 and 3 waited for each other, in Würzburg the trains for Lines 2 and 4, and in Hannover the trains for Lines 3 and 4. Due to the great success, the DB logically decided to introduce hourly schedules with mixed class trains on all four IC lines at the start of the summer schedule for 1979 on May 27. This was done with the slogan "Jede Stunde - jede Klasse: der "IC 79" / "Every hour - every class: the "IC 79". The same hubs were kept in the process. Block trains was the new magic phrase and all IC trains thus ran with blocks of cars for 1st and 2nd class, separated by a dining car or "Quick-Pick" cafeteria cars. It was purely "by chance" that the routes for the lines were also set up such that the same car classes stood opposite each other at hub stations. This large number of new trains naturally needed names and the venerable "Hohenstaufen" was thus the godparent for a pair of Intercity trains. The IC 690/691 "Hohenstaufen" ran in successive years between Munich and Hamburg-Altona via Stuttgart, Heidelberg, Mannheim, Frankfurt/Main, and Hannover. Motive power for the trains was the class 103.1 or 120, which as a rule pulled eight cars of 2nd class (5 type Bm and 3 type Bpm), a dining car as well as three cars of 1st class (2 type Avm,1 type Apm). The train name "Hohenstaufen" remained preserved by the way until the end in 2001. An ICE running on the same routing bore this name starting in 1991. Then came a "downgrading" because starting in 1999 there was then only an InterRegio train between Karlsruhe and Lindau (in 2001 Karlsruhe - Ulm) with this historic designation.
