In the „metronom“ through Northern Germany
The "metronom" bi-level trains on the route Hamburg – Bremen and Hamburg – Uelzen have offered a topnotch hourly schedule in fast regional passenger service since December of 2003, and since December of 2005 further on from Uelzen via Hannover to Göttingen. All of the trains feature pleasant air conditioning and run extra quietly. They have comfortable seats with enough legroom, quiet areas, snack and drink automats in every train, generously dimensioned bicycle and wheelchair cars, as well as clean, comfortable restrooms. These trains are pulled by 160 km/h / 100 mph fast class 146.5 TRAXX electric locomotives and with their blue-yellow-white paint scheme offer a pleasant change from the red monotony of the DB AG.
Prototype: „metronom“ bi-level commuter train consisting of a class 146.2 electric locomotive, 3 bi-level intermediate cars, and 1 bi-level cab control car. The locomotive and cars are in the current paint scheme for metronom Railroad Company, LLC, Uelzen, Germany. The train looks as it currently does in real life.

Model: The locomotive has an mfx+ digital decoder and extensive light and sound functions. It also has controlled high-efficiency propulsion with a flywheel. All 4 axles powered by means of cardan shafts. Traction tires. The triple headlights and dual red marker lights change over with the direction of travel, will work in conventional operation, and can be controlled digitally. The headlights at Locomotive Ends 2 and 1 can be turned off separately in digital operation. The locomotive has the "double A" light function. All of the bi-level cars have factory-installed LED interior lighting. When the locomotive is pushing the train (cab control car at the front), white triple headlights light up on the cab control car. When the locomotive is pulling the train (locomotive at the front), dual red marker lights light up on the cab control car. Maintenance-free warm white and red LEDs are used for the lighting. All of the cars have current-conducting close couplers that can be uncoupled. The cab control car has a detailed buffer beam and separately applied streamlining. Total length over the buffers 130 cm / 51-3/16".
A bi-level add-on car to go with this train is available under item number 43572.
