The express train Nordpfeil – or in Danish Nordpilen – was for decades the classic express connection between Hamburg and northern Jutland until 1991. It also traversed the famous Rendsburg High Bridge over the Kiel Canal. Four years after the introduction of the IR line Kassel - Flensburg, the Nordpfeil experienced its rebirth as an Interregio: It operated from Hannover via Hamburg, Flensburg, Fredericia, Aarhus (the second-largest Danish city) to Frederikshavn.
This international IR train is accurately modeled with multi-voltage cars and the corresponding train route signs. In Denmark, the train consisted of 5 cars (Art. No. 6200289 and 6200290), and three additional cars were added to Flensburg (Art. No. 6200288).
The IR Nordpfeil/Nordpilen was pulled north of Flensburg by the DSB class MZ. Up to that point, the train was hauled by the DB class 218 in double traction, after the electric locomotive had been uncoupled in Hamburg-Altona. With the ongoing electrification, this change of traction type could initially be moved to Neumünster from winter 1995, and from summer 1996 directly to the Danish border station Padborg.
