LGB L33205 G Passenger wagon no. 116 of the Jagsttalbahn

An old Swiss visit to Götz von Berichingen
It was once a German Reich knight to which Johann Wolfgang von Goethe attributed the famous "Swabian greeting" with the legendary threat of denial. He was named Götz von Berichingen and lived in the castle of the same name in the Hohenloher Jagsttal. Centuries later, this lovely region made history again when 1971 a historic train operation with steam traction was established on the narrow-gauge Jagsttal railway, which opened in 1901. He was so popular that the few passenger cars that were still available were no longer sufficient. Therefore, they looked around for matching old vehicles and found them in Switzerland. In 1982, the St. Gallen-Gais-Appenzell-Altstätten-Bahn (SGA) was able to acquire four ancient passenger cars. A special gem was the wagon 116 built in 1904, which was still largely in its original state. After the realignment from 1000 to 750 mm, the Oldtimer completed the varied fleet of vehicles in the Jagsttal valley from 1984. With its attractive red and white appearance, it brought in particular with the green-red-black painted steam locomotive 798,101 ("Nicki S.") stylish color swabs to the local tracks. And the town of Dörzbach showed with the city's coat of arms on the side walls the connection with its railway. Currently the original car is waiting for its restoration. However, the new LGB model shows, at least in miniature, how the great prototype of the next round birthday can shine in a new sense.
