Why do they have a re-painted Transrapid 07 on their grounds?[1]
Trnasrapid seems like a much more mature and capable design than their own. E.g. While Transrapid uses a T-shaped track, Bögl uses a U-shaped track. That's not going to work well with snow or falling leaves, not to mention people on platforms discarding items into the tracks…
