Product Features and Details
New for 2026: The first special-design locomotive, the V 180 059, was introduced in 1965 with a new design concept featuring a roof and front wall made of fiberglass-reinforced polyester and a glare-free windscreen thanks to steeply angled front windows.
Besides a long-term test of the suitability of plastics, the aim was also to create a more attractive appearance. Two more locomotives with fiberglass-reinforced polyester cabs followed in 1966. This model represents the DR's V200 1001 in Era III as the Leipzig trade fair locomotive. The locomotive can be easily retrofitted with a PluX22 decoder.
