To work alongside the TGX, Trans Polar Rail (a ficticious passenger company operating in Scandinavia and Russia) has taken delivery of several Orbis sets to run the high speed line between Vladivostok and Berlin, via Copenhagen, the fact that each of the axles is powered means that these trains are able to get to the (restricted) 380km/h top speed faster than the TGX and ICX units, (Orbis Express runs its sets at 420km/h).<br>

seen here is an Orbis R300 set in one of the new liveries, in this instance the upgraded red livery.<br>
