Very nice... google translator gives me this on the specs.
Does that translate about right?

"...Kato HO Triebwagenzug DR VT 18/175 4-segment AC unit package, online since 10.20.2012 12:43

Item Number: 73309

Condition: Brand new in original box with instructions and Zurüstteilen (?)

DB AG VT 18.16.

18:16 The VT was a quality train, by the GDR wanted to increase the railroads worldwide prestige. It was produced in 1963 by VEB Waggonbau Görlitz. The prototype was equipped with two 900-horsepower engines and was approved for 160 km / h, therefore, the name comes VT (for combustion railcars), 18 (for 1800 hp) and 16 (for 160 km / h). In series production, it received two times 1000 HP. The Baumusterzug (?) was not coupled with the other trains, and has already retired the 1977th."

This would work very well for Era III East Germany.
Anyone know of other specs or history?

I will try the google translator on this next:
http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/DR-Baureihe_VT_18.16

In single point perspective, where do track lines meet?
