This really nice HO gauge loco by Lima is HL2008 a Krauss-Maffei ML 2200 C'C' / DB V300 diesel loco in red livery. It has running number V300 001.  


Four Krauss-Maffei ML 2200 C'C' locomotives were built in 1957 for Yugoslav State Railways (JDŽ). The JDŽ bought three units, which it initially named D 66, later these were named JŽ series 761. The fourth locomotive was bought by DB and numbered V300 001 (and later 230 001). In August 1970 it was based at the engine shed at Hamburg-Altona, working on daily express trains on the Marschbahn in Westerland in Schleswig-Holstein


Decommissioning came in August 1975, and in 1977 was sold to the Italian locomotive dealer Bulfone in Udine. Although the pulling power was good, the length of the machine restricted it from some branch lines, thus after about a year stay was the machine was brought back to Germany in late 1978 as the Italian sale was cancelled.


In 1980, the locomotive was scrapped at the company of Layritz in Penzberg.


This example is in excellent condition (see pictures). I have tested it and it runs well. The box is a little shelf worn but still very good. 


This locomotive is really just very nice and high quality. 


This loco would look great on a layout. 


Do please have a look at my other listings, I typically have various HO and OO locos on offer as well as an extensive range of imported N gauge locos and other items.
