Yes,i saw it in Amsterdam when i was there with the 01 1075 from SSN for Amsterdam Sail.
Still an impressive loco but i do not like the colorscheme.
This train offers a Michelin chef meal while travelling through Dutch countryside,interesting concept.
It also appears at 16:22 in the following clip where a Westfalen steamtrain leaves Amsterdam Central on the returntrip home:

Thanks,Steven.

Toeter means "Horn".

Have you noticed the panorama coach in the train?
Must be ex DB from TEE and Rheingold services.

Must say Haute Cuisine always makes me hungry afterwards but I suppose this is about the experience,not so much about the volume of food........

Admittedly, the following photos (click for larger view) are recent, so this 1200 does not have to work as hard anymore as in the 1970s; the colour scheme reminds me of my college days when I travelled from Enschede to Valkenburg by train via Utrecht (Utrecht-Maastricht or Utrecht-Heerlen with a 1200 for motive power), so I'm prejudiced in finding it the nicest colour scheme the 1200s have worn. Its front shield nicely shows its roots:

Jeroen,

I have said it before on this forum,the blue 1200 always reminds me of my army time back in 1976-1977,when i was heading back from Rotterdam to the army barracks at Vught,near Den Bosch,on Sunday nights.
Waiting for my local train at Oisterwijk junction,usually a blue 1200 would turn up with a string of blue intercity coaches,passing the station with some 120 km/h.
Later,when walking the final mile from Vught station into the gloomy woods surrounding the army camp,1200s could be seen pulling 4 axle heavy ore waggons,like a ghost in the night.
When these beasts pulled into a station that was always impressive.
American flair in a land below sea level.......

You know the best thing about the 1215? It's still going after all these years. Smile

I do remember my army days very well (who does not?).
Waiting for my local train (Mat 64!) and watching the passengers in the blue intercity (to Maastricht?) having the time of their life,i felt the most lonely man on the planet,having to defend free Europe from the Russian invader (????!!!!).
Looking back on that,that must have been the joke of the century.
Walking through dark forrest to empty cold barracks whilst the rest of the nation was having fun did not really comfort me.
But hey,i joined as a boy and left as a man,as the saying goes.

Very hard to find movie clips of these blue intercities,time healds all wounds.........

Cheers,

Paul (76-2 41 Geniebat).
