A power converter includes a housing, an engagement member, and a guide. The housing accommodates a power conversion circuit. The engagement member is fixed to the housing. The guide is attachable under a floor of a vehicle body of a railway vehicle to extend in a width direction of the vehicle body. The guide has a shape engageable with the engagement member and supports the engagement member to allow movement of the engagement member in the width direction.

The cooling device (12) according to the disclosure includes a case (20), designed to be arranged on a roof (16) of the vehicle, said case (20) comprising two side walls (22) and one upper wall (24) together delimiting a housing for each component. Each housing forms an air guiding duct in which the corresponding component is housed, said duct extending between at least one side air inlet opening (32) arranged in one of the side walls (22) and one upper air outlet opening (34), arranged in the upper wall (24).

A braking resistance device for a vehicle has a plurality of braking resistance elements each having a tubular heat-conducting casing. A heat-conducting and electrically insulating material is disposed in the casing. An electrical conductor is embedded in the insulating material over a majority of the longitudinal extent of the casing. Furthermore, the braking resistance device has a stacking arrangement which is designed to be passively cooled. The stacking arrangement has a plurality of layers which are arranged one above the other in a stacking direction and each including the braking resistance elements of the plurality of braking resistance elements which are arranged substantially parallel to one another.

A modular foot platform for a driver's cab of a rail vehicle includes at least a base frame having a height adjustment mechanism, an intermediate frame mounted on the base frame, and a step plate lying on the intermediate frame. The height adjustment mechanism includes at least one operating element, which is disposed at least partially in a region on or above the top side of the step plate, which top side faces away from the base frame. A rail vehicle having a driver's cab and a modular foot platform disposed therein is also provided.
