Lenz 40301-02 electric locomotive BR 141 009-1, DB, Ep. IV Product Details

Description

Developed as a multi-purpose locomotive for light express, passenger and freight traffic, the E 41 could be used on main and branch lines thanks to its low axle load. A total of 451 units were built between 1956 and 1971, the last year of production. All E 41s were equipped for push-pull operation and had SIFA and Indusi. The E 41 (141) remained in service into the first decade of this century, making it one of the DB's longest-lived electric locomotives. This long service life is reflected in the different livery variants: the first E 41s were still classified as express locomotives according to the old Reichsbahn scheme and were therefore blue. However, because the maximum speed was only 120 km/h, they were no longer considered express locomotives shortly after entering service and were delivered in green as local transport, passenger and freight locomotives. Variants in ocean blue-beige, oriental red and traffic red followed later.
