A VW T1 as a draisine - technical history on rails

In the 1950s, various VW buses were converted into trolleybuses at Waggon- und Maschinenbau Donauwörth and at the Beilhack company. The vehicles were used for track control and the easy transportation of personnel and tools. Characteristic conversions such as the removal of the steering wheel, the installation of side steps and the conversion to railroad wheelsets have also been authentically implemented in the model. This creates a realistic impression of this unusual Era III rail vehicle.

Modern technology meets historical model

The model is equipped with an mfx/DCC-capable sound decoder that reproduces realistic sounds. The lighting consists of switchable head and tail lighting as well as digitally switchable interior lighting. In addition, an integrated energy storage unit ensures uninterrupted operation in the event of short power gaps - ideal for use in garden railway operation.

Realized true to detail in G scale

With a vehicle length of approx. 19 cm, the trolley is compact, but still a real eye-catcher on any layout.

The use in Era III makes this model the ideal addition to historical operating displays.
