Electric locomotive BR 141 025-7, DB, Ep.4, BD Karlsruhe Bw Offenburg, steel blue RAL5011
Translated Description from LENZ:
E 41 - The role model
Developed as a multi-purpose locomotive for light express, passenger and freight transport, the E 41 could be used on main and secondary lines thanks to its low axle load. A total of 451 were built between 1956 and the last year of production, 1971. All E 41 are equipped for push-pull operation, have SIFA and Indusi. The E 41 (141) was in service up until the first decade of this century, making it one of the DB's longest-lived electric locomotives. This long service life is reflected in the different paint variants: the first E 41 were still classified as express locomotives according to the old Reichsbahn scheme and were therefore blue. Because the maximum speed was only 120 km/h, they were no longer considered express locomotives shortly after they were put into service and were delivered in green as local transport, passenger and freight locomotives. Variants in ocean blue-beige, oriental red and traffic red followed later.
E 41 - The modelThe first electric locomotive in the Lenz Gauge 0 program is a completely new development that incorporates all the experience gained from the construction of previous locomotive models. It is logical that the pantographs can be remotely controlled, of course this locomotive also has the latest loudspeakers and a top-class sound experience.
