In a short-term fundraising campaign to support the Deutsche Bahn Foundation's Ukraine relief efforts, Menzels Lokschuppen & Töff Töff GmbH from Düsseldorf and DB Cargo partnered to sell miniature locomotives of the original rail bridge locomotive. With the help of these model locomotives, the campaign was a success, raising a total of 58,600 euros.

During a recent presentation at the Berlin Central Station, the check was presented to the Deutsche Bahn Foundation's Managing Directors, Dr Hella Schmidt-Naschke and Jenny Zeller, by the Head of Marketing, Dr Martell Beck, the Vice President of Marketing, Thorsten Meffert, and the Deputy Managing Director of Menzels Lokschuppen, Stefan Nückel. The Deutsche Bahn Foundation developed a package of measures immediately after the Russian attack on Ukraine, and this donation will go towards the ongoing relief efforts for people fleeing from the war and provide targeted humanitarian aid.

The Deutsche Bahn Foundation combines the charitable activities of the DB Group and is committed to integrating people on the fringes of society, creating sustainable educational opportunities, and promoting volunteer work. Menzels Lokschuppen & Töff Töff GmbH and DB Cargo conducted advance sales of the locomotives from April to May 2022, with the models available at Menzels Lokschuppen and in the Bahnshop. The design of the model locomotive is based on a DB Cargo locomotive of the Vectron 193 394 series, which has the label "Rail Bridge Ukraine" and the hashtag "#WeStandWithUkraine" on the original locomotive, commemorating the relief goods transport to Ukraine. The model locomotives will be delivered to customers in the fourth quarter of this year.
