Brawa 43099 - Electric Locomotive BR 242 Lokoop IV Orien

The nostalgic Orient Express was operated by the Schweizer Mittel Thurgau rail company (MThB). When 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.
