Electric locomotive class 140 of the Deutsche Bundesbahn.
■ Model with single lamps and rain gutter ■ Chassis made of metal die-cast material ■ Digitally switchable light and sound functions
The
BZA Munich, Kraus-Maffei and the SSW developed the class E 40 to
transport heavy goods trains on main lines in the lowlands. The
technical design of the class E 40 corresponds mainly to the E 10.1
locomotive. Only the gear ratio was changed and the standard
installation of an electric brake was abandoned. Over 800 of the 110
km/h fast machines were put into operation from 1957 onwards. Their
power output is 3,260 kW. In 1968 it was renamed class 140. For a long
time, it hauled most of the goods trains on electrified lines; however,
it was also used in front of passenger trains. At the end of 2016, it
was taken out of service by the DB after almost 60 years of operation.
