DB 2016 railtours?

[JackJones125]

Hello everyone! A trip to Germany is required for the 218s and V200, and was wondering if anyone knew of any railtours or when the V200 is out. I have a rough idea about the 218s...many thanks!

Next V200 tour on 30th Jan, details here:

There are also tours mentioned with it on 7th May and 3rd September. Also, judging by a leaflet handed out on one of the December tours, I suspect it may also be doing a Hamm-Wernigerode on 10th December.

Can't thank you enough for that, cheers mate!

The Eisenbahnfreunde Witten also do V200 tours, one on the 23rd April (Recklinghausen - Lüneburg) and one on the 3rd December (Recklinghausen - Lengerich with V200, then steam locomotive 78 468 to Oldenburg).

Check out http://www.efwitten.de/veranstaltungen/sonderfahrten/ for details (only available in German, but Google Translate should work).

Again, many thanks just what I needed!

I did enjoy the way you can specify loud or quiet seats!

Been nothing diesel around there for at least five years I'm afraid...

While in Munich about a month ago I took a picture of a pair of 218s bringing an EC in from Switzerland (Zurich, I think)- attracted by the racket that the pair of them made under the overall roof! One of them had a works date only two days previously on the side and had a rather smart paint job to show for it.
