Description

Catalog description
Novelty 2025: At the end of the 1960s, the German Federal Railway called for a new six-axle freight locomotive to improve the competitive situation of the railway compared to road transport. As a supplement and further development to the BR 150 locomotives delivered from the 1950s onwards, this was to accelerate the heavy goods train service with a higher speed of 120 km/h. Between 1972 and 1978, a total of 170 class 151 locomotives were put into service and initially stationed in Hagen and Nuremberg. In 1994, the class 151 locomotives were assigned to DB Cargo. Numerous class 151 locomotives have since been sold to private railway companies and continue to be used in freight transport.
