Legends on
Rails - Trans Europ Express TEE and the "Gray Mouse"
The
RAe TEE II 1053 is a six-car electric multiple unit.
They
were once the kings of the European rail network and the epitome of
sophisticated travel: the Trans Europ Express trains TEE. The lovingly restored
luxury train, with 210 seats, invites you to extraordinary journeys of discovery
on all the routes of your Train Simulator TS20. The first of these railcar
trains hit the rails in 1961 as 5-car luxury trains. The middle carriage with
the electrical equipment, in the middle a luxurious dining car with, for the
time, new, free seating and a bar counter, a driver's cab at both ends, this was
how this train, which drove smoothly thanks to its electric drive, appeared.
The
RAe-TEE was immediately put into international traffic. With a 4-day
circulation, it operated:
- As
TEE „Gottardo“ from Zurich to Milano
- As
TEE „Cisalpin“ from Milano to Paris
- As
TEE „Cisalpin“ back from Paris to Milano
- As
TEE „Ticino“ from Milano to Zurich
And
this, unique at the time, without stopping at the national borders.
Like no
other SBB train, it embodies the design and spirit of the 50s and 60s.
The
features of this package
Included are the RAe_TEE 1151 – 1155, as well as the RABe_EC 1151-1155, i.e. the
versions from the time as Trans-Europ-Express and the time after the conversion
to Euro-City.
In very
rare cases, both vehicles could be seen together, namely during the conversion
period, when the first conversions were finished and the last ones were not yet
completed. This package offers you these possibilities.
