Solved: Wendax 619 - Perl rail car

Not much steering to do in this one.

For one point, please respond and identify who built this railcar, which company used it and when it was built.

Well, once I found out what is "sínautó" in German, it was easy:
Pressefoto PERL Schienenauto Gysev 1926/Sopron. Ort: Österreich.

So, this is an Austrial Perl railcar, shown in Hungary, Sopron in 1926. GySev was the local railway company, financed by Austrians.

One more point for a perfect answer. It was a pleasure to post a (partly) Hungarian puzzle car you didn't know immediately.  ;)

From a 1925 article (the rail car used the same engine as the Perl cars):
