[quote user="54light15"] I was at a car show in Michigan 2 years ago at Meadowbrook. The Lane Motor Museum had a propeller-powered car! Licensed in Tennessee and legal to drive anywhere in North America. two seats, fore and aft like a Piper Cub. The prop had a wooden ring around it but no other protection. The Lane museum has several prop-drive cars but the one they had had the propeller at the front. Very practical! But, weren't the people who built the Rail Zeppelin later involved with the Henschel-Wegmann train and possibly the Flying Hamburger (love that name, by the way) ? <div style="clear:both;"></div> [/quote] AFAIK, Prof. Kruckenberg and his team were not directly involved in the development of the diesel-hydraulic DMUs that formed the "Flying ... " service network of the pre-WW II Deutsche Reichsbahn, but much of the insights on "high speed" rail traffic went into it. Kruckenberg later developed a prototype of a fast RDC (class SVT 137 155 of DR), which evolved into the TEE DMUs of the young Deutsche Bundesbahn in the 1950´s. Very few pictures remain of it. <img src="http://www.hermann-foettinger.de/Projekte/SVT137155/SVT137155_02.jpg" style="max-width: 550px;" border="0" /> This was its successor in the 1950´s: <img src="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/7/78/VT_11.5_in_Munich_(1970).jpg" style="max-width: 550px;" border="0" />
