Description: This very nice and very rare HO gauge train pack by Roco is 43015 & 43017 a DR Class VT 11.5 TEE 8 car set in red and cream Trans Europ Express - Inter-City livery. The trainsets of Class VT 11.5 (often simply called TEE) were diesel multiple units built by Deutsche Bundesbahn (DB) in 1957 and used for Trans Europ Express (TEE) services. Perceived as flagships of the DB rolling stock, they carried first-class seating only. When the UIC numbering scheme became effective on 1 January 1968, the power heads of the trainsets were renamed to Class 601 whilst the middle cars became Class 901 according to the DB locomotive classification. They were used for TEE service from 1957 until 1972 and thereafter on German InterCity services. One trainset has been preserved in operating condition by DB, consisting of power cars VT 11.5 5014/19 and eight unpowered cars, and it operates occasionally on special excursions, including for private hire so this train pack could be used on a modern layout as well as a period one. The only other car preserved from this series is VT 11.5 5012 (as 602 003, its later number), preserved at the Nuremberg Transport Museum. The train is in good condition as you can see in the pictures, it is fully tested and runs with working lights, including interior lights in all cars bar the power car. We would recommend the power car has a service to ensure smooth running as it has been sat on a shelf for a long time It comes complete with its box. The box is in good if slightly shelf worn condition. Overall this is a really nice scale train pack and would look fantastic on a layout. Do please have a look at my other listings, I typically have various HO and OO locos on offer as well as an extensive range of imported N gauge locos and other items. Note: I do recommend all locos are cleaned & serviced, as they have some age to them even if the quality looks at the highest level (fairly standard advice for all locos!).
