Comment: TRAXX Locomotives. Locomotives of the TRAXX (Transnational Railway Applications with eXtreme feXibility) family of locomotive types from Bombardier are in operation today all over Europe. The AEG 12X experimental locomotive appeared in 1994 and was tested as road number 128 001 on the DB. The experience gained from this flowed into the development of the class 145 that was placed into service starting in 1998 on the DB as a freight locomotive with a top speed of 140 km/h / 87 mph. Eighty locomotives were built for the DB and additional units were built for the Swiss Mittelthurgau Railroad, which were eventually used on the SBB as the class Re 481. Several more locomotives of the class 145 type are on privately owned railroads. The class 146 was derived from this for commuter service; its most striking feature is a train destination on the end of the locomotive. The class 146.0 is designed for 160 km/h / 100 mph and is also equipped with a time-multiplex shuttle train control system. The real success story began in 2000. Bombardier presented the multi-system variations: The class 185 was also designed for the current system of neighboring railroads. A total of 400 units of the class 185 are to be purchased. The locomotives are equipped with the appropriate train safety systems and electrical equipment as a "package", depending on the country in which they are to be used. Thus, there are locomotives with two or four pantographs and different external differences that are very apparent to the eye. There are also many of the class 185.1 locomotives on privately owned railroads. Like the class 146.1, there is also a version of the class 185.1 for 160 km/h / 100 mph for commuter service. The next step in the evolution was the locomotives of the TRAXX family delivered to European railroads starting in 2005: They were equipped with a crash-resistant locomotive body whose contour looks more powerful and beefier from the ends. Other changes affected the electrical converter system. Railion has currently placed 200 of these locomotives into service and has designated them as the class 185.2. Here too there is a commuter version for 160 km/h / 100 mph, the class 146.2. Currently, these locomotives are used to pull the latest bi-level trains in the areas of Stuttgart, Freiburg, and Nürnberg. The German Railroad, Inc. is not the only one busily taking delivery of this family of locomotives focused on the future. The SBB and many privately owned railroads such as

Model: The train has a digital connector and a motor with 2 flywheels. 4 axles powered in an intermediate car. Traction tires. Total length over the buffers 1,230 mm / 48-7/16".

Comment: ICE 3 MF - Au Revoir Frankfurt - Guten Tag Paris. Europe appears to be coming closer together on the transportation technical level as well as the political level. The keen competition from air lines is prompting the DB AG and to attempt to overcome their borders and open the route network in each country to high speed passenger service. After a very long (6 years) and costly authorization phase, everything was finally ready on June 10: The ICE 3 MF ("MF" stands for Multiple System France) is running between Frankfurt/Main and Paris. It runs at a maximum speed of 320 km/h / 200 mph on the new French high speed route LGV Est, and the train arrives in just 4 hours at the Gare de l'Est station in the French capital. Due to the different technical systems used for the the ICE and the TGV respectively, 120,000 kilometers / 75,000 miles of test runs and several conversions on the trains were necessary so that the German trains could run with no problems on the 25 kilovolt routes in France. Most importantly, the train had to be adapted to the French train control system and safety equipment such as fog signals, warning lights, red flags, and flares for stopping trains coming from the other direction are now on board. The train also underwent a change in the control of the eddy current brakes that had already caused problems in the authorization process in Belgium, as well as changes to the doors, and the high tension layout. The trains were improved aerodynamically in the areas of the car diaphragms and trucks in order to prevent damage from flying roadbed ballast. A select locomotive engineer team also had to obtain permission to run the train on the French routes so that the ICE could run between the countries without time-consuming crew changes. The authorization process cost the two state railroads 28 million Euros, which signifies for many business travelers a considerable improvement in the transportation services offered and that brings Europe one more step closer together.

Model: The locomotive has a 5-pole motor with a flywheel. 4 axles powered. The locomotive body is constructed of die-cast metal. Length over the buffers 64.0 mm / 2-1/2".

Comment: BB II - The "Sugar Susie". The locomotive builder Maffei delivered 29 class BB II locomotives from 1899 to 1903 Royal Bavarian State Railways (K.Bay.Sts.B.). These units were wet steam "Mallet" design locomotives with a maximum speed of 45 km/h / 28 mph. These little locomotives (10,010 mm / 32 feet 10 inches) were assigned to branch lines with many sharp radius curves. In 1908, another 2 units were added, which were somewhat longer. The German State Railroad Company (DRG) designated the BB II as the class 98.7 in their motive roster but soon decided to retire most of the locomotives due to insufficient performance. Many of these locomotives had a second life as industrial locomotives, such as road number 98 727, which was sold in 1943 to the sugar refiner Südzucker AG and which gave valuable service at the company's plant in Regensburg as plant locomotive no. 4. There it acquired the nickname "Zuckersusi" / "Sugar Susie", and it steamed its way into the hearts of the employees, surely a reason why it was not scrapped in 1972 and remains preserved as a museum locomotive to this day.

Comment: TRAXX Locomotives. Locomotives of the TRAXX (Transnational Railway Applications with eXtreme feXibility) family of locomotive types from Bombardier are in operation today all over Europe. The AEG 12X experimental locomotive appeared in 1994 and was tested as road number 128 001 on the DB. The experience gained from this flowed into the development of the class 145 that was placed into service starting in 1998 on the DB as a freight locomotive with a top speed of 140 km/h / 87 mph. Eighty locomotives were built for the DB and additional units were built for the Swiss Mittelthurgau Railroad, which were eventually used on the SBB as the class Re 481. Several more locomotives of the class 145 type are on privately owned railroads. The class 146 was derived from this for commuter service; its most striking feature is a train destination on the end of the locomotive. The class 146.0 is designed for 160 km/h / 100 mph and is also equipped with a time-multiplex shuttle train control system. The real success story began in 2000. Bombardier presented the multi-system variations: The class 185 was also designed for the current system of neighboring railroads. A total of 400 units of the class 185 are to be purchased. The locomotives are equipped with the appropriate train safety systems and electrical equipment as a "package", depending on the country in which they are to be used. Thus, there are locomotives with two or four pantographs and different external differences that are very apparent to the eye. There are also many of the class 185.1 locomotives on privately owned railroads. Like the class 146.1, there is also a version of the class 185.1 for 160 km/h / 100 mph for commuter service. The next step in the evolution was the locomotives of the TRAXX family delivered to European railroads starting in 2005: They were equipped with a crash-resistant locomotive body whose contour looks more powerful and beefier from the ends. Other changes affected the electrical converter system. Railion has currently placed 200 of these locomotives into service and has designated them as the class 185.2. Here too there is a commuter version for 160 km/h / 100 mph, the class 146.2. Currently, these locomotives are used to pull the latest bi-level trains in the areas of Stuttgart, Freiburg, and Nürnberg. The German Railroad, Inc. is not the only one busily taking delivery of this family of locomotives focused on the future. The SBB and many privately owned railroads such as the Swiss Crossrail are also placing different models from the various series into service.

Comment: FD-Königssee In 1983, the German Federal Railroad introduced a new product: the long distance express or "Fern-Express" (FD), which was used most of all to link Hamburg and the Rhein-Ruhr metropolitan area with vacation destinations in Southern Germany. The rolling stock consisted of older 1st and 2nd class cars withdrawn from IC service as well as a former "Quick-Pick" dining car. The "Königssee" FD 780/781 pair of trains for Hamburg - Berchtesgaden also ran an additional car with a large children's area, which was identified externally with color letters as a car for children. Since the "Königssee" was run from 1988 on over the new construction routes with their many tunnels, the rolling stock had to be modified accordingly, i.e. comfortable airtight cars were used. Since this train ran without the IC surcharge and also represented the fastest connection from North to South, it was accepted by more than just vacation travelers and was very busy. The "Königssee" ran in a paint scheme similar to that for the Interregio trains; only the dining car stuck out from the blue/white train composition, which did not harm the elegance of the train. Interest in FD trains fell due to the expansion of the IC network and especially due to ICE service from 1991 on and the FD service was halted at the start of the Nineties. The elegant cars of the "Königssee" were put back into normal IC service and were gradually repainted in "Chinese red".
