Prototype:
In the late 1960s, the Deutsche Bundesbahn developed the Class 151 as a heavy freight locomotive, based on the technology of the 103 and 181/184. With electric resistance brake, train heating, as well as push-pull and double traction control, it was versatile. Since the 2010s, many locomotives were retired from the DB fleet; some went to RBH or private railway companies. By 2025, over 50 machines were still operational.
