As freight demands and the spread of electrification grew
throughout the mid-1960s, it became apparent that Deutsche
Reichsbahn’s current fleet of freight locomotives were no longer up
to the task alone; not only that, but motive power which pre-dated
the Second World War was in dire need of replacement. This meant a
new electric locomotive was needed.
DR were after a six-axle locomotive that could easily haul any form
of rolling stock, be that freight or passenger, and other features
such as a light steel body and ergonomic driver’s cab were also
part of the plans. The new Co’Co’ locomotives were given the title
of “E51” and construction of the first prototypes began in the
early 1970s. By the time of their completion in 1974, the
prototypes had been designated as the DR BR 250.
Following the reunification of Germany in 1994, the DR BR 250s were
renumbered under Deutsche Bahn’s reclassification system and become
known as the DB BR 155s. Following this, the BR 155s could be seen
all over the German rail network, hauling a wide variety of freight
services, including fast container trains on the high-speed
lines.
The “Electric Container”, as it’s affectionately known to railfans,
has stood the test of time and you can take to the rails hauling
heavy freight with a nostalgic twist, as the iconic DB BR 155 is
now available for Train Sim World for enticing Ruhr-Sieg Nord
action!
Please note: Ruhr-Sieg Nord is required, as a separate purchase,
