About Plasser & Theurer UNIMAT 08-275 by Ferrovie dello Stud
UNIMAT 08-275 is a cyclic action tamping machine built by the Austrian company ''Plasser & Theurer''.
The model is powered by a 9V battery connected to a Power Function Large motor that provides to move all the mechanisms, tamping unit included.
