Product Features and Details
New for 2026: The V 180 059, the first special-design locomotive, 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 serving as a long-term test of the suitability of plastics, the project also aimed for 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 comes equipped with a modern PSD XP decoder with sound and a wide range of functions.
