The DB BR 612 Wackel-Dackel is a two-car Train Sim World diesel multiple unit (DMU) train used by Deutsche Bahn in Germany for fast regional rail services on unelectrified lines. The trains are also known as RegioSwingers and have a maximum tilt of 8°.
Here are some details about the DB BR 612:
Croatian Railways – Croatian Railways uses a similar design to the RegioSwinger, known as class HŽ 7123.
Development – The DBAG Class 612 was developed to replace the DB Class 611, which had problems with its tilting technology.
Construction – Adtranz, which later became Bombardier Transportation, built the Class 612 between 1998 and 2003.
Wheelset issues – Cracks were found in the wheelsets of the Class 612 during ultrasound examinations in 2004. This led to the tilting system being disabled and speed limits being reduced on curved tracks until 2006, when the wheelsets were replaced.
ICE paint scheme – 16 units of the Class 612 were repainted in the ICE paint scheme and renumbered as class 612.4 – Exordium Gaming Chicago
