Passenger & freight cars
Steam ran in Romania into the late 1970s, so Y wagons and various era-suitable freight cars can be used to model CFR rolling stock. But, unfortunately, Romanian diesel and electric locomotives are all of unique design, and so there's nothing for the modern modeller to pull the various passenger and freight cars that could be modelled (including Eurofima types). There is, however, a number of railcars and DMUs that can be modelled in the modern era.

Tillig has produced three CFR freight cars, all from the modern era (ep. V):

East Germany's BR119 was a Romanian built locomotive. I can only assume that some ran there as well. Tillig makes a model.

Surprisingly enough, CFR never had any of those!

If I remember correctly, Romania built them for Germany and according to German spec. More specifically, Germany needed this locomotive but their builders where at capacity so the manufacturing was outsourced to Romania. Still, it IS surprising that there weren't at least one or two that stayed.

What I figured out is, that they are in use in Romania, but weren't in the past. 12 of the 219's were sold to a romanian Deutsche Bahn subsidiary after 2000 for its freight service in Hungary/Bulgaria/Romania (some photos: http://www.baureihe219.de.tl/Balkan-Bilder--ar-.htm). They are stationed in Pirdop (still in service: 219 074, 219 043; parked: 219 179, 192; spare parts donors: 219 029, 153) and Timisoara (in service: 219 025, 125; parked: 059, 096, 112, 159).
