Hi,

here an old pic posted first by George (carius) 15th October 2012 and some later 2nd November again in a better quality by Sturm 78. Markus identified it as a Raba Super, but after discovering another Hungarian truck on rails I think that it could be a MAVAG-Mercedes. I know there are different cabins, but the rest seams to fit.

Regards

Bert

Hi Viktor, hi ilfil,

in the book ""Kaelble Lastkraftwagen und Zugmaschinen" by Joachim Wahl and Alexander Luig I could find the exact designation of the tractor on Your pic:
Z 6 W 2A 130 special version . Only two were delivered in July 1940. A tractor, which could be used on rails and on roads. Here a pic of this vehicle during the change of the wheels. It had two different front axes, a rigid front axle for the use on rails and a normal movable front axle for the use on roads. Because of it it had a special prolonged mudguards.

Best regards

Bert

Hi Max,

I´m glad when You are enjoying those pics. Here the last pic of these vehicles out of the book "Kaelble Lastkraftwagen und Zugmaschinen": "Both two-way-tractors in road postion during test drives near to Berlin. Sorry for the bad quality of the copy.

Best regards

Thanks again, Bert. I'm a little late to this area of study and always very appreciative of these photos of unusual vehicles posted by my mentors that are not available on the internet. I hope you and everyone else here are doing fine during these difficult times.
I'm curious about the registration, which is obviously pre-Wehrmacht. What do you make of it IC, IIC, IIIC?
Cheers,
Max

Hi Max,

thank You for Your warm words. I´m fine, but my father-in-law is dying, but not by Corona, but by a normal influenza.
To Your question: the registration is "III C", the administration district of Backnang, Böblingen and Esslingen, the region around Stuttgart. The company Kaelble was in the town Backnang.

Best regards

Bert

Hi,

by chance I could find three more pics of the Panzerkampfwagen III on rails, which I posted 09 July 2017. The vehicle is a so-called Schienenkampfwagen SK 1 (rail tank nr. 1) and was developped by the Austrian company Saurer from November 1942. It was a Panzerkampfwagen III Ausführung N Sd.Kfz. 141/2. The test drives of this prototype began in August 1943 and lasted until autumn 1944.

Source of the pics: https://weaponsandwarfare.com/2019/07/1 ... sk-1-1943/

Regards

Bert
