While in Berlin this week I picked up one of the latest Fleischmann driving trailers; so here are a couple of photos showing it being tested on my Singen Hbf layout. It's a huge improvement in detail levels from the old design which is starting to get a bit long in the tooth. It's inbuilt lighting is also DCC friendly, but at 95 Euro is certainly isn't cheap.
Below; I have included photos both taken last week at Koln of the two different prototypes on which the two Fleischmann models are based for reference. In my opinion probably one of the best pieces of contemporary rolling stock available in N-gauge.
Did you get a ride on one? They give a good ride even on top, and a great view. The new ones are much better for taking your bike places.

Hey Andy, yes we managed to try most of the double-deck stock, including the really early DR flat-fronted non-aircon ones right up to the latest arrivals. We had a few days in Koln, a week in Prague then a few days in Berlin. And we didn't step in a car or on an airplane once...
