Info about the original
The nostalgic Orient Express was operated by the Schweizer Mittel Thurgau rail company (MThB). If the nostalgic Orient Express was driven under the contact wire, it was often connected to a locomotive which was painted in the special night –blue colour of the Orient Express. This was a locomotive of the series Ae 477, a former E 42 of the DR. In 1994, 12 of the E 42 were sold to Switzerland.
