This ImoTrans BR221 diesel locomotive is the ImoTrans model number of DB (Deutsche Bahn) BR221 diesel locomotive, which is the model number of DB's V200 diesel locomotive after computerization.
The V200 diesel locomotive was mass-produced by Kraus-Maffei and Mak after 5 prototypes were built by Klaus-Maffei in 1953, and about 50 V200.1 diesel locomotives (computer-numbered BR221) with enhanced output from 1962 were manufactured as about 50 express liquid diesel locomotives.
It was active everywhere in Germany, regardless of the sub-trunk line, but due to the rapid progress of electrification on the trunk line, it became surplus in Germany, and all cars were discontinued in 1984.
After that, it was rented out or sold to countries such as Saudi Arabia, Italy, Spain, France, Switzerland, Algeria, Albania, etc., and was then re-imported to Germany and sold to German railway companies and leasing companies.
This model is the outfit of BR221 No. 136, which became the property of ImoTrans, a company that leases used locomotives exclusively in 2004 as a re-employment destination.
Probably it's quite good, unlike the wine red paint of the DB era.
ImoTrans was a former subsidiary of Prignitzer Eisenbahn (PEG), a German private railway company headquartered in Berlin, but has now withdrawn.
This product is a standard BR221 type repaint product that was sold for a single year as a limited edition product in 2004, but it has not been reproduced and is out of print.
There was a contact mark that the vinyl sheet wrapped around the car body at the time of shipment from the manufacturer and the car body paint reacted with oil, but please note that we are working to remove it by polishing using a compound.
