Description
Was produced in two editions 2017 and 2018 with different road number: 43920.001 2017 A-RAILW 5181 2290 003-9 First Locomore version 43920.001 2018 A-RAILW 5181 2290 002-1 Revised version LOCOMORE was a short-lived German private railway project. The company was founded in 2007 by Derek Ladewig, with the objective of developing private long-distance passenger services as an alternative to Deutsche Bahn. It was based in Berlin. The company was involved in the creation of Hamburg-Köln-Express (HKX) before eventually concentrating on its own Berlin–Stuttgart service. After years of preparation and crowdfunding, the Locomore train finally began operating on: Berlin ↔ Stuttgart on 14 December 2016. The service was intended to be an alternative to Deutsche Bahns ICE, with relatively inexpensive fares and a strong environmental/green positioning. The coaches had been specially refurbished for Locomore and offered features such as Wi-Fi, power outlets and work tables. But the company ran into financial problems This is where the Märklin model becomes particularly interesting. Locomore operated for only a few months before announcing insolvency on 11 May 2017. Its original service consequently stopped. However, the story didnt end there. In August 2017, Leo Express took over important parts of the operation, including rolling stock and the Locomore brand. The service resumed on the Berlin–Stuttgart route, with FlixTrain/FlixBus involved in ticket sales and marketing. The Locomore-branded train subsequently continued in various forms for several years.
