WE1-RET-M
“A real Viennese does not go under!” is also the title of an ORF television series about the fictional working class Sackbauer family at the end of the 1970s. The rumbling electrician Edmund "Mundl" Sackbauer, uniquely embodied by Karl Merkatz, split the nation when it was first broadcast and then became a cult. A not entirely atypical career for a “real Viennese”.
By the end of the 1970s, a total of over 300 type E1 railcars were delivered by SGP and Lohner and shaped the cityscape of Vienna for decades. In 2013 it was planned, that the E1 cars would be parked by 2017. Many railcars were parked and sold, but you can still see E1s on the streets of Vienna - real Viennese!
Due to a lack of cars, RET (Rotterdamse Elektrische Tram N.V.) bought 12 Viennese trams in 2001, including 10 E1 and even 2 E as spare parts donors. Between January 2001 and May 2003 they were in use on Line 2. The RET E1 models are manufactured by HALLING Modelle in non-series and, like the Viennese models, are equipped with light and interface (NEM652). On request, it is possible to order the models digitized ex works.

Vienna tests the ‘Uber-ULF’!
The ULF (abbreviation for Ultra Low Floor) is a low-floor tram vehicle that was originally developed by SGP Verkehrstechnik GmbH and ELIN EBG Traction for Wiener Linien and was later taken over by Siemens. The innovative trams have been in service in Vienna and the university city of Oradea in Romania since the mid-1990s. Today, a highly unusual further development is coming from there to Vienna for its first test runs.

The famous Tichy-ULF is back!
For all those who love the Viennese tram, for all those who missed the first edition and actually for all those who like to eat really good ice cream, we have excellent news this week - the legendary Tichy-ULF is back! The Tichy ice cream parlour, a cornerstone of the Viennese way of life, has had several trams wrapped every year for decades. These extremely smart advertising vehicles have become as much a part of the Viennese cityscape as horse-drawn carriages and coffee houses.

The Flexity Berlin is back!
When we announced a small series of the Berlin Flexity models in May last year, we were somewhat surprised by the popularity of the models. The models created by completing the overproduction were sold out within days, which also caused some resentment. All the more reason for us to present the first models of the new edition 2023!
