Well the latest and for now last 'Berliner' TT:120 trains has arrived, having got some now I'm impressed enough with them that I'll be keeping my eyes open for more opportunities but they don't tend to come up that often. Anyway I'm finishing this batch with probably the best set out of the lot, another 'limited edition' that I think is meant to celebrate a 750th anniversary of Berlin. The anniversary also helps date this set which would appear to be 1987 based on what is on the packing.
This set features a rather nice class 5620 2-8-0 locomotive + tender in a nice olive green colour. This is accompanied by a set of 4 carriages, each in a distinctly different colour scheme which seems to dictate the passenger class, although I'm surprised if that is what the designations are as then there are only classes 2, 3 and 4. Although I guess in communist east Germany it would be frowned upon to have a '1st class' as they probably shot all the aristo's!!

Happily collecting things all my life...
