Haha, really? You should come here and to Spain! Seeing such kind of loco and such kind of cars behind is rather frequent, but mostly in Spain. In October this train will be joined with the Lusitânia train and its only running at night... so I'm taking advantage as fast as I can to take as many pictures as I can of it during day time, even if it runs counter sun. Here's a photo I took in Spain with a double of Renfe 252 and a huge talgo train: [link]
The problem in Germany is that the Talgo- coaches aren't driving in Germany anymore and there is only one of these locos in Germany driving for the testing centre of Siemens
