Description
- Catalog description
- Novelty 2026: In 1922, a new electric locomotive was included in the procurement program for the Bavaria Group Administration of the Deutsche Reichsbahn Gesellschaft for demanding passenger service on electrified lines, designated as the EP 5. The drive system of the total 35 locomotives was divided into two groups, each assigned two motors. Other particularly striking features of the vehicles are the continuous long frame and the distinctive box structure with beveled corners. After World War II, 29 machines were still in service with the DB, and the last locomotive of the series was retired in 1973. Printed version of the BR E52 of the DB with black running gear in Era III. The model features a modern PluX22 interface for easy decoder retrofitting.
