Prototype of the model: The E 1642 express train of the German Federal Railroad

In the 1950s, the Deutsche Bundesbahn initiated an improved service to better connect rural and structurally weak regions with conurbations. The aim was to provide passengers with a direct connection to the nearest major city without having to change trains. These connections, which operated as express trains, were well received by the population and were nicknamed "Heckeneilzüge" (hedge express trains) due to their route away from the main lines. One of these express trains was the E 1642, which ran from Braunschweig to Aachen in 1974, passing through towns such as Kreiensen, Holzminden, Beverungen, Schwerte and Cologne.
