SWS2 - "Gisela" das U-Bahn Rückgrat Berlin

The title is intentionally somewhat exaggerated, but in reality, it corresponds quite well to the situation. In the past decade, the Berlin U-Bahn successfully filled an existing gap in its fleet with older technology. Significantly newer vehicles with modern technology were phased out, while the A3E and GI/1 trains from the 1960s and 80s, with their more robust switchgear technology, remained in service after being refurbished. However, with the continued delivery of the Jk trains on the small-profile network and the release of the Ik trains on the large-profile network, their service is gradually coming to an end. All the more reason to celebrate the fact that the GI/1E train family from LEW Hennigsdorf has now been given a fitting, contemporary tribute in Subwaysim 2.
