800 km south of København, I took the chance and had a glance at the :db: ICE L Talgo 230 in Frankfurt.
The German Talgo is almost identical to the Danish one. Whereas I personally prefer the warm colors, the dining car and the well designed children's area of the ICE L Talgo, I prefer the small details of the Danish EC Talgo : The toilets have sliding doors matching the small size of the rest rooms, the sliding doors of the carriages open to both sides and there's a huge, flexible multipurpose compartment at each end of the train allowing storage of large luggage items and bicycles both in first and in second class. The German Talgos seem to have less reliable toilets than the Danish ones. Also the design of the rest rooms in general was better in the Danish version.
The seats are the same model in the :dsb: and the :db: version, solely the color of the fabrics differ. Both trains have reclining seats, power outlets and seat laps in both travel classes.
In general, the Talgo trains seem to be quite adequate mainline trains for #CrossBorderRail. I was surprised how smooth the single axis went on high speed, it was vibrating much less than older Spanish Talgo trains.
I'm looking forwards to seeing them in regular service !

And one more night train : Southbound by comfortable modernized :oebb: :nightjet: couchette comfort compartment bringing me to #Karlsruhe right next to the French border.
Today was definitely an exciting day, apart from the early morning in Malmö, the launch of the amazing new :dsb: Talgo 230 :kb_ec: EuroCity, I still spent the evening in the #MiWuLa model railway exhibition where I could admire the adorable #H0 replica of #Padborg st in memories to the ICE TD service linking Denmark and Germany using high-speed rail in past.
And as most good travel days : The day ends in a comfortable couchette dreaming me closer to my destination.
Good night Fedi !
