DetailsThe V 100 series locomotives played a key role in replacing steam engines on branch lines. Delivered in series from 1961, the class V 100.10 and V 100.20 locomotives were primarily used for light passenger and goods train services. In 1968, these locomotives were reclassified as class 211 under the German Federal Railways' new numbering system. The more powerful variants of the V 100.20 series were also employed on main lines and steep gradients, showcasing their versatility. - Essential Transition: Facilitated the replacement of steam locomotives on branch lines.
- Versatile Service: Suited for light passenger and freight operations.
- Reclassification: Became class 211 in 1968 under the German Federal Railways.
- Powerful Variants: V 100.20 series adapted for main lines and challenging gradients.
- Operational Impact: Significant contributor to modernising regional rail transport.
This model accurately captures the practical design and historical importance of the V 100 series, making it a prized addition for railway enthusiasts and collectors. |
