Overview:
This BR250 type electric locomotive of DDR (former East German National Railways) is a new electric locomotive manufactured after DDR (former East German National Railways) computer numbered. The BR250 electric locomotive was developed in 1974 by the only railway vehicle manufacturer in former East Germany, as a result of the lack of transportation capacity with the conventional E11 and E42 electric locomotives, and the need for a more powerful locomotive. Three vehicles were prototyped at LEW Hennigsdorf, and based on the results of their trial runs, 270 vehicles were mass-produced from 1977 and were used to pull heavy freight trains and passenger trains. However, in the year of the fall of the Berlin Wall, freight shifted to road transportation, and the demand for heavy freight trains decreased, and they were temporarily leased to the Swiss South-Eastern Railway (SOB), but after the unification of German railways in 1992. It was given the new designation BR155 by the DB Cargo division and is used to pull all kinds of freight trains, especially heavy mineral and chemical transport, as well as high-speed container trains. However, since around 2000, problems related to the bogies have frequently occurred, and due to availability of spare parts, scrapping has been considered, and scrapping has been progressing since 2006, with only 63 vehicles remaining as of 2016. However, it is still in operation in 2020. Approximately 120 vehicles have been sold to private railways, vehicle leasing companies, etc. and are in active use.
This model is dressed in oleander red with the original wine red paint from the DDR era when it first appeared. Please note that this paint color cannot be determined due to the lack of knowledge from the seller.
This product is a repainted version of the product manufactured in 2013 as #HN2213.
