what is it?
The Classes T 23 and T 24 are diesel railbuses which were procured by the Württemberg Railway Company (WEG) and then operated by the Westerwald Railway (WEBA) until 2009 on the Daade Valley Railway and now belong to the Krumbach IGEBA engineer society railway. The WEG had the two railbuses built in 1968 at Gmeinder and Auwärter for working the branch line from Nürtingen to Neuffen. They were powered by two Büssing engines with a power of 154 kW (210 PS) each.
