The modular design allows the installation of various equipment packages, such as different pantograph configurations and train protection systems. Deutsche Bahn AG has ordered a total of 400 locomotives of this series, which will mainly be used for freight transport and are intended to replace older models such as the 140 series.

Manufacturer: Kuehn Modell

The manufacturer Kuehn Modell is known for its high-quality model railroads in TT scale. With attention to detail and high precision, Kuehn Modell produces vehicles that are both visually and technically impressive. The 185 044 electric locomotive is another example of the company's excellent craftsmanship.

Era V/VI: Transition and modernity

Era V (1990-2006) and Era VI (from 2007) mark the transition from the classic to the modern railroad. During this period, many locomotives were modernized or newly introduced in order to meet the increasing demands of international transport. The class 185 is a typical example of this development and reflects the technical progress and globalization of rail transport.
