Fleischmann 7760001 N Set of 8 DB BR 602 gas turbine multiple unit train

Gas turbine multiple unit series 602 of the Deutsche Bundesbahn. It consists of two power heads (one motorized) and six intermediate cars. The insufficient performance of the diesel-powered VT 11.5 (BR 601) led to the conversion of four power heads to gas turbine drive in 1971, with the most distinctive feature being the large air intakes in front of the driver's cab that supplied air to the turbine. Due to various deficiencies, the operation of these trains became increasingly uneconomical, which is why the multiple units designated as BR 602 were retired by the DB in 1978 and 1979. Only the power head 602 003 has been preserved for museum purposes and can now be found at the DB Museum in Nuremberg.
