Locomotive
Locomotives are central traction units in rail transport. They are used to pull or push trains and can be used for both passenger and freight transport.

Power car
Power cars, such as the ICE 1 power car, ICE 2 power car and ICE 884 power car, are special traction units that are mainly used in high-speed trains.

Control car
Control cars are driver's cabs that are used at the end of the train and allow operation in both directions without having to move the locomotive.

Railcars
Railcars are self-propelled units that are used for both passenger and regional transport.

There are different types of railcars:
Diesel railcars: These railcars, such as the Deutsche Bahn (DB) diesel railcar, are equipped with diesel engines.
Electric railcars: These units use electrical energy and are often used on electrified lines.
Combustion railcars: These railcars are equipped with combustion engines, similar to diesel vehicles.
Battery-powered railcars: Battery-powered railcars use batteries as an energy source and are particularly environmentally friendly.

You can buy railcars from us at good prices and from verified sellers. Whether you are looking for an old railway railcar or a modern electric railcar, you will always find numerous offers here. Keep an eye on this page and find your new used railcar, railcar head & co. at a fair price!

There are some particularly popular series on the market. These include, for example, the 628 series - a diesel-powered commuter railcar that is mainly used in regional transport. The 648 series, another diesel railcar, is also widely used in local passenger transport. For high-speed transport, the 402 series, also known as the ICE 2, offers a high-performance solution within Deutsche Bahn's ICE fleet. The modern 623 commuter railcar impresses with its reliability and efficiency. The 650 series, a diesel-powered railcar, is also frequently used in regional transport. Finally, the older 624 series, which has been in service since the 1960s, is characterised by its longevity. These different series offer you a wide range of options for finding the right traction unit for your needs and optimising your fleet. We will be happy to help you with any questions.
