Waggonfabrik Talbot
Waggonfabrik Talbot was founded in 1838 in Aachen, Germany, by Pierre Pauwels and Johann Hugo Jacob Talbot, as Eisenbahn-Waggon-Fabrik Pauwels & Talbot Aachen.
The company produced a unique "self-discharging wagon" with a controllable release mechanism developed by George Talbot, which became a best-seller. From 1928 this was produced in a revised Austauschbau design to maximise the number of standardised parts, in accordance with much of the rest of the German railway network's rolling stock.
