PIKO EXPERT 58150/28350 Metropolitan Train pack. Locomotive and 7 coaches. EpV HO
Brand new construction a co-operative project between Piko and Märklin
The prototype:
In order to compete against air travel the Metropolitan Company was formed and ordered two trains for the Hamburg - Cologne route and no expense was spared with leather seats and wooden furnishing throughout. Unfortunately the service was, perhaps, ahead of its time and failed to attract enough customers. The unique coach sets were later picked up by the DB IC network.
