ÖBB Boxcars are rolling stock used for transporting goods and materials throughout the railways. Their closed design and build allows them to transport goods and materials that cannot be exposed to the outside.
One of these vans made an appearance in the fifth series episodes, "Baa!" and "Put Upon Percy". It was used as scrap set-dressing at Tidmouth. Remnants of a ÖBB bogie appeared in the ravine in the sixth series episode, "Dunkin Duncan".
