Wunderland Special - Record train from 1984

A new era began in 1984 with the class 120 - it became the model for modern high-performance locomotives. Find out more in our video!

With its revolutionary three-phase AC motors, the 120 series laid the foundation for all modern electric locomotives. Tested under the most difficult conditions in Switzerland and after failing the first test run in the snow, it even set a speed record of 265 km/h in 1984! In this episode, Georg tells you how he brought this exciting train to our layout and what his grandfather had to do with it. Have fun watching!
