if you like the SVT 877 who mostly drove between Hamburg and Berlin ,you don't even want to try the Henschel-Wegmann train, which was the cheaper option in terms of maintenance and which ran between Berlin and Dresden from 1936 onwards? i only ask because both trains are pretty similar in design and performance

Yeah, THX so much! The "Flying Hamburger" (I think this is the most used term here in the U.S.) is my most favourite train set ever. In the 30'ies, nearly 90 years ago, this DMU train set shocked the world. It was a very comfortable hightech train developed for Deutsche Reichsbahn, the only one state owned railway company of Grossdeutsches Reich. There were plans to connect all important cities in Grossdeutschland and its New Territories by this DMU (there was also a 4-car prototype somewhere).
Unbelievable how modern the design still appears!

Cause Germany lost the WW2 some nice things of Grossdeutschland 've gone, like this high speed DMU, television broadcasting (Telefunken), constructions of new highways and mass production of valuable cars (Volkswagen) and even more. They came back some decades later...
In my eyes the 30'ies were the best German's decade for engineering & research in technologies ever.
