In German Bauart is usually used for steam engines and Achsformel or Achsfolge for other vehicles.

Type Gattung

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.

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.
