The 218 218-6 diesel locomotive, delivered by Krupp in 1974, was the first of its class to be painted ocean blue/beige. It was assigned to the Nuremberg Federal Railway Directorate (BD) and then transferred to the traction maintenance depot in Regensburg. The locomotive was in service with this livery until it was repainted in orient red in 1987.
