Roco 60224 electric locomotive BR 180, DB AG, Ep. VI (Sound-ready-Modell)

In the 1980s, the DR procured electric dual-system locomotives to simplify the steadily growing traffic and operations in cross-border traffic between the GDR and Czechoslovakia. Due to the lack of experience in the field of dual-system technology (GDR: AC 15 kV/16⅔ Hz, ČSSR: DC 3 kV) and full capacity utilization at the electric locomotive manufacturer LEW in Hennigsdorf, the machines were based on the ČSD series ES 499.1. However, the Škoda locomotive factory had not yet built a machine for the AC 15 kV/16⅔ Hz system, so the parts for the AC part were supplied from the GDR. The demand of the ČSD resulted in a double order for Škoda with 15 locomotives BR 372 and 20 locomotives BR 230 for the DR. At DB AG, the machines, with an hourly output of 3,260 kW and a top speed of 120 km/h, were redesignated BR 180.
