A Look at Equipment

Here is some of the equipment we have. These are typical German trains, and so they look quaint as compared ot the North America car and locomotive types.

These "flat" cars carry detailed containers. Note the opening doors. I wonder what the Germans would put in there.

Top view of German tank locomotive. Note the buffers on either end. Europeans and British railroads use them to keep cars from crashing while coupling. We don't use them in North America. Our railroads can couple cars without bashing them.

Side view of 4-wheel "flat" car with container. Note the size of the gap between cars.

Rear view of German locomotive. Note the nicely-detailed drive rod assembly. Germans paint the underside of locomotives red to make it easier for inspectors to spot cracks. This switcher's coal bunker is behind the cab.

Another good look at the drive detail on the locomotive.

This is a platform bridge, made by Berliner Bahn in East Germany during the 1980s. The underside of the box has instructions in German, English, Polish, Russian, Czech, Hungarian, and other Eastern languages. It's like a piece of the Cold War.

We know what Germans put in these cars! The car shown here is an East German passenger car from the Cold War Era. Imagine: Communists by the carload! All joking aside, similar car types were used throughout Central and Northern Europe. This particular car carries the livery of the Deutsche Reichsbahn in the Soviet Era. Note the rounded roof and window styles. These features are found in passenger coaches throughout Germany, Austria and Scandinavia.
Note that couplers are attached to the trucks rather than the car body.
