Locomotive factories - Germany: books (2/3)

Fotoalbum der Maschinenfabrik Esslingen: Dampflokomotiven

In this sixth and final illustrated book on the Esslingen machine factory, Alexander Weber presents the company's steam locomotive production, which has been the basis of the group since its founding in 1846 and the nucleus of the later L department.
In almost 120 years, this has produced locomotive classics such as the Württemberg classes C and K, the Reichsbahn standard locomotives of the series 44, 50, 64 and others, the last DB steam locomotive series 23 and numerous other designs for domestic and foreign customers.

Fotoalbum der Maschinenfabrik Esslingen: Diesel- und Elektrolokomotiven

February 4, 1846 marks the birth of the Maschinenfabrik Esslingen, which within a few years became one of the leading industrial groups in the then Kingdom of Württemberg.
In this illustrated book, Alexander Weber devotes himself to an often forgotten chapter of locomotive construction at the Maschinenfabrik Esslingen.

In addition to steam locomotives, numerous locomotives with petrol and diesel engines, electric and battery-powered locomotives were built between 1890 and 1962, which found buyers at home and abroad. An excellent illustrated book with many previously unpublished photographs and at the same time a profound reference work.

Fotoalbum der Maschinenfabrik Esslingen: Personen- und Güterwagen

In 1846, Emil Kessler founded the Maschinenfabrik Esslingen, which within a few years became one of the leading industrial groups in what was then the Kingdom of Württemberg. In addition to all types of rail vehicles, the company also offered steam boilers, compressors, refrigeration machines, bridges, steel structures, railway safety technology, electric vehicles and much more.

In this illustrated book on the Maschinenfabrik Esslingen, Alexander Weber takes a look at wagon construction. Since 1846, alongside locomotive production, it was the second, often overlooked, mainstay of ME's rail vehicle production and thus played a decisive role in the development and expansion of the railway system - until production was discontinued in 1965.

From the contents: passenger cars (standard gauge cars, narrow gauge cars, standard express train cars, special train cars, passenger cars, large-capacity cars, etc.); heating cars for the German Reichsbahn; baggage and mail cars; freight wagons (stake cars, beer cars, low-loader cars, livestock transport cars, refrigerated cars, crane cars, barrel cars, coke quenching cars, etc.)

Fotoalbum der Maschinenfabrik Esslingen: Triebwagen

This fifth illustrated book on the Maschinenfabrik Esslingen is about railcar production, which always had a special status in Esslingen. These railcars are now considered milestones in railway vehicle production in Germany.
Alexander Weber has once again succeeded in gathering a wealth of background information on the individual vehicles. The main advantage of the book is the unique photographs taken during the production and delivery of the railcars.
