The "Rheinpfeil". The prototype for our train with the add-on cars is the famous "Rheinpfeil", which ran as Trans Europe Express 27/28 between Dortmund and Munich between 1965 and 1971. As early as 1952 this name stood for the first DB F-Zug express trains, which ran with 1st class seating only starting in 1956. From 1958 on, the "Rheinpfeil" served as F 21/22 on the route Dortmund-Munich, which was later incorporated into the TEE network. In the Seventies, the "Rheinpfeil" became InterCity 108/109 and ran between München and Hanover.
