The passenger and goods stock, there are just half a dozen of each.
Four-wheel coaches of great antiquity were in
use right up to the end of steam on surviving branches, into the 1960s, these
being the original ‘turn of the century’ designs for branch work. The nearest
thing to ‘modern’ was the appearance of the steel four-wheel coaches of
‘Thunderbox’ type on some lines and these dated from the 1920s, but even these
were not so common in Bavaria where the old Bavarian short and long
four-wheelers were available in some numbers. In addition, an elderly exKPEV D-zug coach occasionally runs an excursion coach at the weekends during the summer.

Most of the locos would have been used on a branchline in Oberfranken.
Models
Most of the models represent the stock that may have been used on a quiet rural branchline although maybe not at the same time.
