Railpool already benefited in 2009 from the fact that Angel Trains
was unable to find a use for its newly built fleet of locomotives
186 101–110, which were therefore taken over by Railpool.
Originally intended as D-A-CH-I variants, these locomotives were
later equipped with the additional country package for the
Netherlands. Locomotive 186 251, also ordered by ATC and designed
for service in D-A-PL, began its initial test runs in 2008 and was
sold to Railpool in 2011. None of the eleven locomotives ever
passed the acceptance tests at Angel Trains and were initially used
as test units before eventually being sold to Railpool. These
locomotives played a key role in approval runs for operations in
the Netherlands. The model is depicted with red UIC sockets and
silver Railpool lettering on the front, reflecting its delivery
condition from 2011 to around 2018. During this period, locomotive
186 251 was operated by various rail transport companies, such as
RTC, Lokomotion, and BLS Cargo.
