Realistic operation on the RE 3

The car with road number 50 80 96-73 502-4 is tailored for the RE 3 service at Hamburg Central Station and is part of Bombardier’s modern TWINDEXX Vario® platform. With a length over buffers of 303 mm and an exact 1:87 scale reproduction, it is ideal for realistic model railroad operations in Era VI.

Digital Lighting Functions & Control

The middle car comes factory-equipped with digital features and offers warm-white LED interior lighting, illuminated destination displays, and an illuminated cab. The direction-dependent red/white light change ensures a realistic driving experience. The ZugBUS function automatically detects the lead and trailing cars in digital operation and enables central control of all lighting functions, including braking section detection.

High-Quality Materials & Prototype-Accurate Details

Made of impact-resistant plastic with a metal base, the model offers stability and a high level of detail. Precisely fitted windows, printed window frames, multi-part bogies, attached windshield wipers, and a paint scheme tailored to the BRAWA TRAXX BR 146.5 electric locomotive round out the design.

Prototype: Comfortable regional trains with TWINDEXX Vario®

The TWINDEXX Vario® double-decker cars were developed starting in 2010 for local and long-distance service. With 468 seats— 70 of them in first class —and a top speed of 160 km/h, they epitomize modern train comfort. Metronom uses these vehicles in high-quality regional service around Hamburg.
