The following files are available for download (last update 5. 4. 96):

GDB.zip Wagons of the DB (Deutsche Bahn AG, formerly Deutsche Bundesbahn)

PG_DB.zip Private owner wagons, registered with the DB

IGB.zip International wagons (UIC railways)

IGP.zip International private owner wagons (UIC-railways)

All above files are packed and yield a dBase file and a short introduction into the contents. I can provide copies of my own photographs. However, since I am running this as a hobby and not as a commercial business, my first preference for compensation is in exchange for other wagon photographs, other modes to be agreed upon.
