Summer is knocking on the door – sun and water always fit well together. Now, also in the form of an ÖBB Taurus werbelok livery.
Railcolor News thanks Mathias Machatschek for sharing his nice pictures with the magazine.
Water and summer, blue and orange – this is the basis of ÖBB’s latest advertising locomotive. The machine will promote Steinbach, an Austrian production and wholesale company specializing in the swimming pool sector.
Their English slogan – “We are pool” – best describes the locomotive. A splashy photograph completes the design and successfully sends us to that carefree ‘pool party’ summer mode – because, despite the difficult times we are all living in, we have to enjoy moments like these. Oh, wait, there is also a German slogan: “… und das Urlaubsfeeling ist auf Schiene!” meaning “… and the holiday feeling is on track!”
About 1116 229
Initially delivered to ÖBB in plain red in 2008, this locomotive has been sporting RailJet’s special livery (and driving these trains) for a decade. This means that the “Steinbach” livery is the third design for the locomotive. The locomotive’s NVR number is 93 81 1116 229-4 A-ÖBB.
