Abstract: A bulk loader car (1) comprises a storage box (2) exhibiting a ground conveyor belt (4) and a support frame (3). The storage box (2) is supported on a vehicle undercarriage frame (9), wherein in each case rail undercarriages (12) are disposed on end sides of the vehicle undercarriage frame (9). A transfer conveyor belt (8) is coordinated to a discharge end (6) of the ground conveyor belt (4) disposed at an angle to the horizontal. The vehicle undercarriage frame (9) is composed out of a first and a second car frame (10, 11) connected to each other by a coupler (15). The storage box (2) is supported in each case by a swivel ring (19, 20) on the two car frames (10, 11). One of the swivel rings (19) is supported longitudinally shiftable relative to the car frame (10).

Abstract: A diesel-engined rail shunting locomotive is provided which combines a very high level of noise insulation with excellent accessibility to the engine and associated apparatus. The locomotive is adapted for remote control by radio, and also has at least one cab for the operator. The engine and associated apparatus are covered by a noise insulating rectangular box-shaped hood which is liftable as a single unit by means of power-operated lifting means provided on the locomotive. The lifting means may be screw jacks located in the four corners of the hood. The cab has an end wall slightly spaced from adjacent the end wall of the hood, to simplify construction and improve sound insulation.
