This infobox enables the display of technical data on German locomotives. It mirrors the de.wikipedia infobox "Infobox Schienenfahrzeug", enabling table fields to be instantly translated into English as they are copied across and thus simplify the transfer of data from there to en.wikipedia. After substitution the template will use the English-language parameters found in {{infobox locomotive}}.
Purpose and description
Template analogue
Copying an Infobox Schienenfahrzeug template directly from de.wikipedia and saving it on en.wikipedia will result in the following conversion taking place, with the German values (right) being replaced by the English values (left):
Gattung is often synonymous with Baureihe or 'class'. In this context it is a DRG locomotive type used to define the purpose, ratio of driven to total axles and the axle load. E.g. G 56.18 was a Goods train steam engine with 5 driven axles and 6 in total, with an axle load of 18 tons. Also used for railbuses and passenger coaches.

Hints and help etc.
Please do not enter new parameters unless they are mirrored by the German template "Schienenfahrzeug". New parameters or other changes should be carried out in the following order
1. Purpose and Description, 2. Template for Copying, 3. Infobox Sorting and 4. XML-template for the template master.
To transfer a Schienenfahrzeug table from de.wikipedia to en.wikipedia
1. Copy the code into en.wikipedia, 2. Change commas to decimal points and vice-versa as necessary and 3. translate any data words as necessary. The field names themselves will automatically be translated into English. Note that Infobox Schienenfahrzeug automatically redirects to German railway vehicle.
This Infobox enables the display of technical data on German locomotives, railbuses and other railway vehicles. It mirrors the de.wikipedia infobox "Infobox Schienenfahrzeug", enabling table fields to be instantly translated into English as they are copied across and thus simplify the transfer of data from there to en.wikipedia.
