Rail Adventure’s HST power cars Nos. 43484 and 43480 are pictured stabled at Munich Donnersbergerbrücke station on October 13, with ex-DB 111 Class No. 111 082. The company specialises in moving stock using a fleet of ex-Deutsche Bundesbahn and Swiss Federal Railways locomotives, but earlier this year it also acquired eight redundant power cars from Angel Trains to be used in Britain and on the Continent.
