Books on the history, types and technology of the electric and diesel multiple units of the Deutsche Reichsbahn Gesellschaft up to 1945.
Verbrennungstriebwagen der deutschen Reichsbahn (Band 1) - Entwicklung, Nummerierung, Technik
The first volume of this illustrated work describes chronologically the general development of the types of combustion railcars used by the state railways and the Reichsbahn. The different numbering systems for the vehicles are highlighted, as are the technical aspects of the design and construction of combustion railcars.
In addition, the designs of the German State Railways up to 1918 and the early designs of the German Reichsbahn Company up to 1930 are presented in detail.

Verbrennungstriebwagen der Deutschen Reichsbahn (Band 2): Triebwagen in Leichtbauweise von 1932 bis 1945
From 1932 onwards, the German Reichsbahn acquired a considerable number of four-axle combustion-engined railcars for use on main and branch lines, as well as two-axle vehicles for branch line service. All models are presented in detail in this book in words and pictures, accompanied by vehicle sketches that illustrate the design differences.
A fascinating chapter of German railway history is taken up here. The work contains numerous type sketches as well as previously unpublished photos and covers all types, from branch line to multi-part main line railcars.

Verbrennungstriebwagen der Deutschen Reichsbahn (Band 2): Triebwagen in Leichtbauweise von 1932 bis 1945
Gläserne Züge - Die Aussichtstriebwagen der Deutschen Reichsbahn
In January 1937, the first electric observation railcar completed its journey on the Mittenwaldbahn. The DRG initially had two individually driven railcars manufactured by the Heidelberg-based Fuchs wagon factory for excursion purposes. This EK book highlights the technical equipment, modifications and operational history of the vehicles known as the ET 91 from 1940. After the ET 91 02 was destroyed in Munich in the war year of 1943, the refurbished ET 91 01 was able to be put back into operation from the summer of 1949 and gained a considerable fan base for almost 50 years.
For the first time, detailed reports are provided on the investigations carried out by the DB AG long-distance transport division into the restoration of the vehicle in 1996 and the plans for replacement vehicles. The three observation railcars with diesel-hydraulic drive, which were also purchased from Fuchs in Heidelberg in 1936 and 1939, are also taken into account. These vehicles were intended to be used for attractive day trips to the Rhine, Moselle, Ahr, in the Sauerland and in Saxon Switzerland.
