The prototype: The class 120 of the Deutsche Reichsbahn

The class 120, also known as the V 200, was procured by the Deutsche Reichsbahn (DR) of the GDR between 1966 and 1975 in a total of 378 units. These locomotives, based on the proven M 62 design from the Luhansk Locomotive Works (Ukraine), were characterized by their reliability and high performance. With 1,470 kW, the 120 series was ideally suited for heavy freight train services. The 120 272-0 locomotive was based at the Dresden depot and served in the Dresden RBD area.

Technical details and equipment

The model of the class 120 impresses with its high level of detail. It has separately applied components, a wide chrome strip under the front windows and a roof version with silencer. The precisely manufactured frame ensures an authentic appearance that is both visually and technically impressive. The LED lighting with white light change adapts to the direction of travel and ensures a realistic playing experience.

Era IV: Railway operation in the GDR

Era IV represents the railroad operations of the Deutsche Reichsbahn between 1965 and 1990. The specific liveries and the vehicle types oriented to the needs of the GDR are characteristic of this period. The class 120 is an outstanding example of this era and was used for both freight and passenger services.

Design and color scheme

The locomotive impresses with its authentic paintwork with the characteristic wide chrome strip under the front windows. These details reflect the design of the original engine and make the model an eye-catcher on any model railway layout.

Care and maintenance

The locomotive should be cleaned and maintained regularly to ensure long-term operational safety. A soft brush is ideal for removing dust and dirt from the surface. We recommend lubricating the moving parts sparingly with special model railroad oil.
