DB - Electric locomotive 141 278-2
About the model
Electric locomotive 141 278 of the German Federal Railway.
■ For the first time with multi-nozzle fan grilles
■ Etched catwalks and windscreen wipers
■ Finely-detailed model with free-standing handle rails
■ Switchable headlight/tail light with DIP switch
The class E 41/141 locomotives were first delivered in 1956 for light mixed service on main and branch lines. They were the only class in the standard locomotive program to feature a rear derailleur on the low-voltage side of the transformer. The rear derailleur made a characteristic noise that, in addition to the large jumps in traction force, resulted in the nickname “firecracker”.
