News 2025.09 - The Frist Subway Train
Üstra's first underground train!
Hanover is currently celebrating one anniversary after another. Construction of the Hanover underground began 60 years ago – a project of the century and the largest construction site Hanover has ever seen. Just ten years after construction began, the first train rolled through the underground of the state capital in 1975!

TW6000 - Gruppe
A year earlier, the legendary TW6000 trains had entered service in Hanover for the first time, so it was clear that two of them would also inaugurate the underground Line 12. Leading the way was the TW6002 with the familiar ‘Erdmann’ advertising, coupled in double traction with the TW6010 with ‘Bachmann’ advertising.
To mark this major anniversary year, we are launching a series of five new TW6000 models, which have been developed in close collaboration with Üstra and its passionate employees. If you want them all, you'll have to be patient!
The TW6001 ‘Erdmann’ and TW6010 ‘Bachmann’ models, as well as the former TW6001 driving school car in its neutral design, are available immediately.
The TW6001 model with the current ‘50 Years of Light Rail’ advertising and the TW6002 with the historic Erdmann advertising will only be presented in coordination with Üstra on the anniversary on 21 September. We are of course happy to take your pre-orders and look forward to offering you this colourful bouquet of models!
