European Railroad Discussion > Innotrans 2012 (18), Bombardier DB Class 430

For those of you not yet tired of seeing too many Innotrans rolling stock vehicles here is the next: Like the Paris surroundings Z50000, the DB Regio class 430 is built by Bombardier + Alstom, so there are lot of common features for these two.

The class 430 is intended for use for example in the southwestern corner of Germany in Stuttgart area. Stuttgart area railroading is as far as I know going through an extensive modernization and extension worth billions of euros. As you can also see, the class 430 shares at first looks lots of design similarities with the previous classes 42x EMUs (by several manufacturers), besides the DB red coloring. The main spotting feature between these two generations must be the rounded structure on the roof.
