Novelty Fall 2026: The E17 123 electric locomotive of the Deutsche
Reichsbahn (DR) was one of the last representatives of the E17
class, which had already been developed in the late 1920s, to
remain in the DR fleet. After the Second World War, only two
locomotives of this class, E17 123 and E17 124, remained in the
GDR. Both locomotives had previously been in service in Silesia and
were transferred to the Soviet Union as reparations after the end
of the war. In 1952, they returned to the GDR and were put back
into service in 1957. The E17 123 was subsequently used in the
electrified network of central Germany hauling passenger trains
before being retired and scrapped in 1968. The detailed model
accurately reproduces the characteristic features of the E17 123 as
operated by the DR. Digital switching of the driver's cab lighting
