Vorchdorf is at the opposite end from Gmunden of the Traunseebahn, also known as Lokalbahn Gmunden-Vorchdorf and in 1974 the depot there was a collection point for a fascinating collection of rolling stock.

At the front is Vestische Straßenbahnen 347 in its later, predominantly cream livery. Originally the livery was green with cream relief. This vehicle was eventually refurbished as car 9 on the Gmunden system.

The two vehicles behind are interurban cars from the Pforzheim-Ittersbach line and were numbered 602 and 603. Built in 1931 by the Waggonfabrik Rastatt, they were not used by Stern und Hafferl and eventually passed to the Deutsches Straßenbahn-Museum Hannover (DSMH) at Wehmingen, Germany. However, this museum grew beyond its resources and both of these were eventually scrapped, 603 as late as 2005. However sister vehicle 604 survives.
