Prototype: The EN 2500 series of Henschel / BBC refers to a small series of three diesel-electric locomotives attempt. In the German Federal Railroad called DB-202 series, they were in trial operation and partly with various experimental conversions until used in the 80s. The locomotives are modular and could be used on two-axis as well as on three-axle bogies (for routes with lower permissible axle load). The three machines have been tested extensively in the 1970s by the German Federal Railroad and regularly used by Bw Mannheim. Your DB name was the 202 series with numbers • 202003-0 (red-orange paint) • 202004-8 (blue paint) From the perspective of the locomotive industry which had built the three copies at his own expense, DE 2500 was primarily a test vehicle. Your technique of historical value is very great, because their design principles have modern Lokomotivtechnik largely shaped. Although a direct further construction in series was eliminated because the German Federal Railroad had a sufficient number of modern Streckendieselloks.
