Trix 22909

"World-class standard" as a model: Even before the reunification of the two Germanys, probably the most successful modification of the class 01 was at home on the rails in East and West. The DR class 01.5 ran into the Seventies as a welcome guest at the front of Inter Zone trains and in its dynamic elegance actually symbolized the often cited, yet almost never reached "world-class standard" of the GDR. Especially the "American" "Boxpok" wheels modelled exactly on the model have an appreciable share here in this quality.
