    Electric locomotive BR 243 of the DR, epoch IV, AC with sound New for 2021: Universal locomotive of the Deutsche Reichsbahn in Ep. IV burgundy paint. In the course of the oil price crisis, a universal concept for the electrification of the route network of the Deutsche Reichsbahn was created searched. As the only electric locomotive manufacturer in the GDR, the VEB Lokomotivbau Electronic Works "Hans Beimler" Hennigsdorf with the production of four-axle locomotives for passenger and medium-duty freight train services instructed. Speeds of up to 140 km / h were tested. The construction was designed for a maximum of 160 km / h. In favor of Pulling power, the speed was reduced to 120 km / h, which was the maximum speed of the rail network at that time corresponded. At its peak, the DR fleet consisted of 640 locomotives. With the founding of the Germans Bundesbahn AG, the locomotives were continued as the 143 series. It was now used nationwide.
