Set of 2 car transport cars DDm98-70
Motorail trains have a long tradition in Germany - in 1956 the Deutsche Bundesbahn started with the first motorail train from Hamburg to Chiasso. In 1988, the DB Autozug range comprised 2929 auto trains and 484 D-trains with car transport.
In 2017, ÖBB took over car train traffic from Deutsche Bahn AG and incorporated it into its Nightjet night train division. Four-axle car transport wagons of the type DDm915 that were procured in the 1970s are used. The wagons were initially manufactured by Waggonbau Graff and later by Waggonfabrik Uerdingen. In 1971, the Austrian Federal Railways procured ten DDm98-80 cars from the Uerdingen wagon factory, which are very similar to the DB´s DDm915s. Between 1982 and 1990, eighty further developed DDm98-70 cars were built at the Jenbacher works. Hobbytrain offers both the DDm915 and the DDm98-70 with all the design differences as detailed models for the N gauge.
