DetailsIn the late 1950s, the Deutsche Reichsbahn urgently required replacements for the ageing class 80 steam locomotives. While the V 60 was still undergoing testing in the GDR, 20 units of the well-established T 435.0 series were procured from Czechoslovakia. These locomotives, designated as the V 75, were primarily deployed for shunting operations in and around Leipzig. - Timely Replacement: Addressed the immediate need to replace worn-out class 80 steam locomotives.
- Proven Design: Utilised the reliable T 435.0 series sourced from Czechoslovakia.
- Operational Role: Mainly assigned to shunting duties in the Leipzig area.
- Strategic Procurement: Enabled continued service during local locomotive development delays.
- Regional Importance: Supported efficient yard operations within a key industrial region.
This detailed model accurately captures the functional design and historical context of the V 75 locomotive, making it a valuable piece for collectors and enthusiasts of Eastern European railway history. |
