Roco 74034 3-tlg. Set 1: EC 24 „Erasmus‟, DB, Ep. IV Product Details

Description

This car set consists of three express train cars for the German Federal Railroad Eurocity 24 "Erasmus" in 1987 condition with red apron. These are large-capacity cars with telephone booths, separately applied grab irons, finely detailed bogies, and large roof antenna. The dining car also has orange "Restaurant" lettering.

History: For the 1987 summer schedule, new quality standards were set for the cross-border InterCity trains with regard to car material, speed, and service. Trains that met these criteria were given the designation "EuroCity". The EC 24 "Erasmus" connected the Tyrolean capital Innsbruck via Munich and Frankfurt am Main, then along the Rhine via Emmerich with the Dutch capital Amsterdam. The cars in this set are part of the regular section of the train and were used on the complete running route. A special treat is the dining car from the former TEE "Rheingold" of 1983, which was discontinued just in time for the EuroCity start in 1987: Only the orange Rheingold stripe was removed from two dining cars, while the "Restaurant" lettering remained orange, making them interesting "splashes of color" for more than four years, especially on EC trains to the Netherlands.
