First DMU 185 134 is parked at Aachen West on 18 August 2006. For the delivery from Germany to Great Britain, these trains are inserted into regular freight trains. Two adapter cars are required, as the DMUs have Scharfenberg couplers instead of screw-link couplers. Digital photo by Christoph Schmitz (christoph.schmitz2@post.rwth-aachen.de)
