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.

[Marquette]

Surprisingly enough, CFR never had any of those!

[ConducTTor]

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.

[Zs12]

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).

I am in Romania and never never see this lok's on the rail. however I am in Bucarest and Timisoara is in West. If you want some more infos I will try to ask on Romanian forum Lokomotiv...
Specifically we have more and more Romanian models made by ACME (Amintiri Feroviare - the romanian brand side of ACME)

Germany needed this locomotive but their builders where at capacity so the manufacturing was outsourced to Romania.

That's not correct.
Because of a COMECON agreement, GDR had to discontinue their road diesel production and buy them abroad.

By the way:
The locomotives did not meet German specifications at all. Before the locos were rebuilt and fitted with German engines and other parts, they were very unreliable and spare parts were hardly available. There were times when more than half of the locos were not available because they waited for repair. That's why a part of the order was cancelled and the first locos were scraped before the last ones were delivered...

Eaos ep V Tillig 15236:

European car operators can register their cars wherever they want (within European Union). So by far not all cars registered in Romania really run in Romania.

This car is owned by Steiermärkische Landesbahnen (STLB) of Austria. As far as I know, they do not operate trains to an from Romania.

Hold up! Don't move! I just did some researching and found this out! Tillig released (in 2011?)-2012?) a 4 axle tank wagon for CFR MARFA, era V, article number 15468 and a 2 axle refridgeretor type Ibs (CFR MARFA, also), I am not sure about article number, I believe it is 14693. I apologise in advance!

I've recently seen a CFR refrigerator listed, but era IV. I'm actually contemplating getting one.

Now if only we could get some CFR passenger equipment...
