DB V 200 diesel loco – kit from LEGO® bricks

Description

A spherical front section and an eye-catching V-shaped bib – even beginners can easily recognise the V 200 diesel locomotive. It was built in the 1950s and represents the flourishing Wirtschaftswunder like no other.

The V 200 locomotives were a big hit and carried express trains on all important main lines until the advancing electrification, but also increasing tensile loads, were their undoing. The ladies began to ail, and their high maintenance costs got on their owners’ nerves. Decommissioning finally began in 1977 until the last specimen was taken out of service in 1984.
