Piko 51650 HO Gauge Expert DB BR150 Electric Locomotive IV\nPLEASE REVIEW THE PHOTOGRAPHS AS WELL, ACCESSORIES/BOXES ETC WILL BE SHOWN IF THEY ARE INCLUDED. WORKING ORDER: Yes. COSMETIC CONDITION: New. Detail The Class E 50 is an electric heavy freight locomotive built for German Federal Railways between 1957 and 1973. It belongs to the Einheits-Elektrolokomotiven (standardised electric locomotives) program and was built as heavy freight mover to be used on the increasingly electrified main lines of the DB, where they were set to replace the steam traction. In 1968 the series was redesignated as class 150 (E50). Originally the Class 150 was also suitable for passenger service, however it did not have any steam or electric heating capability for the passenger coaches. To date, the Class 150's starting tractive effort of 450 kN (100,000 lbf) remains unparalleled on German rails. Indeed, it was very close to the breaking force of the chain couplings used at the time of its production. Cy
