News 2021.12 - KSW of Vienna

The "second" real KSW of Vienna!

Just before the end of the war, Vienna received 30 KSW, the so-called Heidelberger. They could not be put into operation until 1945, but initially retained their "protective coating". The current small series now shows one of the first KSW in the typical Viennese red and white color scheme from around 1949.

KSW-WLR-25-M

While car 20 was still documented without a number box on the roof, the current KSW with number 25 apparently never operated without it. He was also one of the few KSW that was operated as a red and white Viennese and not in a sand-colored protective coating! The target shield box was still attached to the right of a ventilation grille above the windshield. 

The line was indicated on the target sign. The car number was written on the front with large golden shadow numbers, on the side the more modern Viennese coat of arms (white cross on a red background) and a small golden shadow number were written. The cars were mainly used on lines 52, 58 and 59. 

The models are based on the KSW model from Stängl Modellbahnen, which Halling Modelle has equipped with new clear and finely printed windows, interior fittings and a number of fine, small details. The models of the red-white KSW represent the continuation of the KSW series. As with the models of the Munich KSW and the Stuttgart KSW, which are now out of print, new, fine accessories and individual decals were designed to carry out a little model maintenance.

    Old Vienna at its best! The finely etched, full-colour and double-sided printed accessories with point tools and flags for the M wagons have run out. We have taken this opportunity to completely revise them and have added new roof advertisements, fresh destinations and previously unused rails. The current series of M-cars is now equipped with the sparkling Ottakringer roof advertisement, but the fine accessories can also be purchased separately and are suitable for all historic Viennese trams.

    All good things come in threes! We're delighted that you liked the first two half-size models so much! The c2 1002 and c3 1110 models are now sold out! But as we all know, all good things come in threes. And so we are delighted and a little proud to present the c3 1156! This very harmonious model is modelled on the prototype in conductorless condition circa 1973, i.e. after the heyday of the ‘Halbstarke Garnituren’ in Vienna, and would therefore also combine perfectly with an E1.

    The wild 1950s in Vienna! The "Halbstarke", literally half-strengths, is an expression from the German-speaking countries of the 1950s. It was a colloquial and often derogatory term used to describe mostly male, working-class youths who had fallen prey to the harmful influences of rock 'n' roll.

    A real piece of model railroad history! The Kriegsstraßenbahnwagen (KSW) were intended to replace the numerous vehicles that were destroyed during the Second World War. These classics were built in a correspondingly simple, robust and material-saving manner. Unsurprisingly, they continued to be used as work cars in many cities after their official end of service.
