A successful partnership is something to cherish. Again, Railpool and HSL Logistik have released a TRAXX AC3 locomotive with a special Flex panel. This is ‘tasty’ 187 313:

The “Pure Quality” design by Railcolor Design is uncomplicated and fun:

It is the first time 187 313 has Flex Panels. HSL Logistik uses brown as the base color for many of its locomotives, so the idea to make a choco-loco one day was quickly born. People can even have a taste of HSL’s ‘Pure quality’ as chocolate bars come with the package:

Railpool 187 series locomotives are not new to HSL Logistik – but it is the first time such a locomotive gets a Flex panel for the operator. HSL Logistik has introduced creative Flex Panels designs in the past, but these are on HSL’s own TRAXX AC3 fleet.
