Lenz 40303-01 Gauge 0 Electric locomotive E03 002, DB, Era III: The pre-series locomotive of the German express train era

The Lenz 40303-01 E03 002 electric loc omotive in 0 scale brings the beginnings of the German express train electric locomotives of the German Federal Railroad (DB) from Era III to your model railroad layout. As a pre-series locomotive, it represents the development towards powerful electric locomotives for high-quality passenger train service in the 1960s.

The prototype: The E03 002 of the German Federal Railroad in Era III

The E03 series was developed in the mid-1960s as a pre-series locomotive for fast passenger train service. The E03 002 was one of four pre-series locomotives that were put into service in 1965. With a top speed of 200 km/h and a striking red and beige livery, it set new standards in German rail transportation. Characteristic of the E03 002 were the aprons and the scissor pantographs as well as the black DB logo.
