Photothread: Road Vehicles of the Deutsche Reichsbahn

[SIS 5]

Hi Leo,

Yes, You are right. Interesting that the traditional color of the Reichspost was yellow. But 1934 in the Third Reich they accepted the red color, probably perssed by the Nazis. The color of the Reichsbahn was obviously not the lemon yellow color of the former Reichspost, it was more a beige color, and often with wine-colored parts of the superstructure. Here a pic of such a bus of the Reichsbahn in color and another on a black-and-white picture, obviously in the same colors.

Hi Bert,
Somehow I missed this one when you first posted it. That's a very interesting roll-on-roll-off container system. I've never seen this before. Thanks.

Hi Max,

thanks for Your reply. Indeed an interesting system, but the Reichsbahn had only 250 containers altogether in 1935. That´s not much. Here four pics with different containers used by the Reichsbahn. The system was called "Von Haus zu Haus" - "From house to house".

Hi,

here a rare vehicle of the Reichsbahn, a Framo type V 500. I think there were oly a few used by the Reichsbahn. Unfortunately I cannot decipher the numberplate, but it could be number between 10.000 and 14.999 reserved for little trucks with a load capacity from 1 to 1,5 tons.

Regards

Bert
