Diesel locomotive class 2048 of the Austrian Federal Railways.

■ Delicately designed model with many extra applied plug-in parts
■ With switchable shunting light, high beam and individually switchable headlight or tail light in digital mode
The introduction of the new train Austro Takt in June 1991 caused a shortage of diesel locomotives with electric train heating at the ÖBB. The ÖBB, therefore, procured thirty-four DB locomotives class 211 to use then, the locomotives class 2043 and 2143 for passenger train services. The locomotives motorized with a Caterpillar engine hauled goods trains and provided shunting services in Wels, Vienna North, Amstetten and Krems.
