Hi guys...

What many of you probably did not know up to now also surprised me a little today. Namely the fact that here in Germany Ford Model A / B engines were used in rail vehicles. In the "Wismar Schienenbus", built from 1932 onwards (T41), two of these motors were installed to move the car. One for each direction of travel.

Later from year of construction 1940 (type T1) the Ford BB engines with 50 HP were installed.
