Hobbytrain H3055 N E-Loc E60 of DRG
By electrifying the railway lines in Bavaria in the 1920s, the Reichsbahn also searched for electric shunting locomotives for its stations around Munich. As a condition of the development of the new locomotives was that as many parts of the E91 and E52 were used as possible to make the maintenance more economical. From 1927, AEG and SSW delivered the E60 in three series to the Deutsche Reichsbahn. The locomotives were initially stationed in Munich, Rosenheim and Garmisch. Due to its exterior with the long and low front end and the driver's cab at the end, it was also called iron in popular terms. At delivery, the E60 had a HIIs2D scissors pantograph with two abrasive pieces, which was replaced with an SBS 10 when the service began at the Deutsche Bundesbahn. In 1958/59 the locomotives were converted and the most striking change was the extension of the shunting platforms on the front sides. Only in 1983 was the last BR 160 of the Heidelberg BW phased out.This text is machine translated.
