From 1971, the Deutsche Bundesbahn put 398 Class 218 series locomotives into service and used them in front of passenger and goods trains. They operate on most non-electrified lines. The locomotives are currently in service at the Ulm, Kempten, and Mühldorf am Inn depots but are also regularly swapped between the locations.
Note: The model is a new item, which is created by overprinting some details such as the road number or frame lettering. The specific details are taken over correctly depending on the prototype. The models are offered at an attractive RRP, as overprints may be visible to a certain extent.
