Hi all,

Just got back from a northern Germany trip and discovered the DD 991 and
DD 992 wagons.

After looking in the usual places on the web, I notice that there aren't
many details on these vehicles and wonder if anyone can help?

I need the number range, builder and year if possible?

Many thanks!

This is probably not helping much, but
<bshpn5$d1rce$1...@ID-88744.news.uni-berlin.de> (posting in German)
states that they were introduced into service in 2000/2001. They are
exclusively used for the automobile transporting trains to the island of
Sylt (Niebüll - Westerland shuttle).

Regards,
Sven

Thanks for your help. I have since discovered there are eight DD 991s
and fifteen DD 992s, built by Graaff.
