Roco 73046 diesel locomotive BR V 180, DR, Ep. III Product Details

Description

Diesel locomotive class V 180 of the German Reichsbahn. The class V 180 of the Deutsche Reichsbahn of the GDR was the largest diesel locomotive built in the GDR. It was initially built in a four-axle version with two 2-axle bogies, later there were also 6-axle variants. The six-axle version's low axle weight of 15.6 t is still considered a masterpiece of engineering today, so that this locomotive can also be used universally on branch lines. It also has approval for steep grades. The resulting range of possible applications is unique among large German diesel locomotives.
