A 1954 Escher VW-Porsche Kleinbahn Prototyp in the Prototyp in Hamburg.
These little trains were built from 1954 to 1971 and were used in parks and botanical gardens. It pulled 3 cars which had space for 90 passengers. Its not a accident that the design of the locomotive looks like a cross between the legendary TEE train and the Porsche 356. This locomotive was powered by a VW industrial engine and was the prototype of the VW-Porsche trains.

Hallo Matthias

Tolles Teil! Kann ich den Stock für ein Composing in Photoshop benutzen? Ich finde keine Regeln zum Gebrauch.

I'm rather amazed that I've never heard of these before. I've read "Porsche Specials" (by Lothar Boshen and Jürgen Barth, I still haven't revealed to my wife what I paid for my used copy about 15 years ago) from cover to cover and it's not mentioned once in there. This is a great image, thank you for sharing and educating me tonight! :-)
