AKE-Eisenbahntouristik began its journey in 1988 by organising special trips using rail buses and steam locomotives in the Eifel region. Through a collaboration with DB Historische Verkehre, the tour program expanded nationally under the motto "Holidays from the very beginning". Starting in 2005, AKE gradually developed its own fleet of vehicles, primarily consisting of TEE coaches manufactured between 1962 and 1974, with only two exceptions. Some of these coaches were previously used in the TEE 'Rheingold. They were also restored to their original colour scheme of beige and purple-red and had a black-grey skirt. At the same time, the interior design sometimes still reflected the original condition, depending on the degree of modernisation.

Over the years, the AKE fleet has grown to more than 20 high-quality coaches, which make up the historic "AKE Rheingold". This train offers guests one-day or multi-day journeys to various destinations in Germany, Denmark, Austria, Northern Italy, and Switzerland, comfortably with first-class service. Fresh meals are prepared inside the dining coaches, so the two WRmz135 coaches of the train set are permanently coupled together on the kitchen side.

In close collaboration with AKE-Eisenbahntouristik, a selection of vehicles from the existing fleet will be released this year as a unique special series. The compartment coaches included in these sets represent a comprehensive cross-section of all AKE-Rheingold variants. Differences in livery and lettering have been carefully considered, even if they are only subtly distinguishable at first glance.

With the addition of supplementary coach 62 00 126, the train can now expand to the standard 13-14 coach configuration typically seen on AKE journeys. However, due to extensive damage sustained by the observation coach during the severe flooding in the Ahr and Kyll valleys in 2021, fundamental repairs remain pending. As a result, the ADmh 101 coach, part of the 62 00 120 set, still reflects its pre-damage condition from 2020.
