The Class 425 and Class 426 EMUs are a class of electric multiple units built by a consortium of Siemens, Bombardier and DWA, and are operated by DB Regio in Germany.

The class 426 is shorter than the class 425

The class 425 has been produced in HO scale by Brawa and N scale by Kato Precision Railroad Models.
