Yes I know but "Kleinbahn" means small train... Weird looking thing.

Rare finds -

A 1954 Escher VW-Porsche Kleinbahn Prototyp in the Prototyp in Hamburg.
These little trains were built from 1954 to 1971 and were used in parks and botanical gardens. It pulled 3 cars which had space for 90 passengers. Its not a accident that the design of the locomotive looks like a cross between the legendary TEE train and the Porsche 356. This locomotive was powered by a VW industrial engine and was the prototype of the VW-Porsche trains.

Forgotten Teardrop: the Arrow Plane
http://blog.hemmings.com/index.php/2008/08/21/forgotten-teardrop-the-arrow-plane/

Like its successors, the Arrow Plane used quite a few Ford parts, including a Ford engine. Unlike its successors, the Arrow Plane used a simple few gauges and a Ford four-cylinder fitted with a Miller overhead-camshaft conversion (instead of a V-8). Voelpel specified that the engine be mounted in the rear of the car and drive the front wheels.

IA #14, December 1972-January 1973, was kind of a landmark issue in Hemmings history. Not only did we publish the Hoax!? article, but it was the first issue in which we mentioned the McQuay-Norrises – the six all-aluminum semi-teardrop-shaped vehicles built on Ford chassis that later became almost synonymous with Hemmings when Terry Ehrich bought one and displayed it out front of Hemmings HQ.
