ET 403 Lufthansa Airport Express, eras IVc to Va

The high-speed railcars of the ET 403 series experienced a second heyday when they were leased to Lufthansa, which was trying to make its still unprofitable short-haul flights between Düsseldorf, Cologne and Frankfurt more lucrative. The railcars were in service for Lufthansa until 1993. The excessive costs for the upcoming overhaul put an end to the operations. The technical design of the ET403 allowed the multiple units to be put together as required. Two to six-part units could be formed. The multiple units were also operated in double traction. LS Models has taken into account all the changes made for the conversion to the Lufthansa variant when implementing them in the model.
