Märklin 55251 Track 1 electric locomotive series 151 green of DB
Owing to increased power requirements in heavy and fast goods traffic the series 151 appeared in 1972 as an enhancement of the series 150. Their construction provided for freight traffic speeds of up to 120 km/h and draft loads of up to 2,000 tons, WAS could only be reached by a locomotive with a power of over 5,000 kW. Krupp and AEG were responsible for the construction of the 151. Thanks to the extreme application of lightweight construction technology, the required wheel set load could be maintained despite the more powerful main transformer and reinforced electrical resistance brake. The first was the 151 001 in chromium oxide green paint on 21 November 1972, which was retained until the 151 075 (with the exception of the 151 073) was delivered.Heavy goods train locomotive series 151 from the Deutsche Bundesbahn (DB).
