Based on: The class V 200.1 is a later development based on the V 200. The first series were delivered to the DB in 1962. The last ones were taken out of service from the loco depot of Oberhausen 1 during the summer timetable of 1988. This universal mixed traffic loco developed 2.700 Hp. This was of great advantage in hauling various types of train. Their legend was built on their years of service on the "Vogelfluglinie" (the famous route out over the sea to Denmark) and the hilly terrain of the Black Forest lines. To make up a suitable prototypical train, the D-train coaches with the Art.-Nrs. 8640 - 8644 / 8649 would be correct. Towards the end of their "career" these powerful locos used to haul goods trains in the Ruhr industrial area. Together with the large capacity hopper wagons Fad.167 (Art.-Nr. 8520) the diesel loco legend returns to your layout.
