They were introduced between 1974 and 1981, with different variants being built up to 1995. They have proved to be reliable and economical in practice. Now that newer vehicles have appeared, the 628s are becoming a bit outdated. On some 628s, new passenger information systems with automatic announcements and displays for the next stop have been installed and in many regions ticket machines have also been fitted, as had been planned in the original design. The unit is in excellent condition as you can see in the pictures, it is tested and runs with working interior lights, and headlights in the leading car, a complete external visual inspection has shown that the overall condition is very good.
It comes complete with its box. The box is in good condition. Overall this is a really nice scale train and would look fantastic on a layout. Do please have a look at my other listings, I typically have various HO and OO locos on offer as well as an extensive range of imported N gauge locos and other items. Note: I do recommend all locos are cleaned & serviced, as they have some age to them even if the quality looks at the highest level fairly standard advice for all locos!
