This item shows three IC2 DMUs on their way to Romania. Astra Trans Carpatic is mentioned as possible new owner. You see units 5714, 5718 and 5721 in a RailAdventure train pulled by classic locomotive 1110 522.
The three units are part of a batch of 23. The designated MP 5701–5723 (motor cars) + FP 6701–6723 (driving trailers) were officially sidelined by the Danish railways (DSB) on 23.08.2016, together with five four-car IC4 sets. This type of train has proven to be so unreliable that DSB decided to withdraw them after only 4 years of service.
On 23.06.2017, DSB announced it had sold three IC2s. The new owner is interested in taking over 15 units in total if the initial three get certified.
