Hi,

This video is about 20 years old. The first class 670 railbuses were delivered in that colour-scheme but repainted in red short after. The model was a real disaster. Eight were built, one was wrecked before finishing, seven were delivered, six got the the licence to tranport peaople, four are in use today. Two are needed for spares. They were ordered by the DB but never really worked so the DB returned them to the manufacturer.

More about the disaster: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/DB-Baureihe_670

Regards

Markus

Edit: The video is newer. I just learned that 670 002-5 is painted again in its original livery. But you can see some small differences (DB-sign, shape of the number on the front): http://www.roter-brummer...4.php?fahrzeugnummer=718

Edit2: SACHSENMODELLE once (~1996) announced a H0-model. But that never appeared.

Thanks,Markus.
I never saw them before.

Also found this odd couple:

Looks like someone put a Boris Bus on tracks ...

See this wikipedia entry or this one about their demise.
