For Sam :iconsamreevesphoto:

To show him that not all our 143s are squeaky clean. ;)

Of course, it all depends on where the engine is being used, or rather where it is stationed. The ones on our S-Bahn lines (or rather the last few of them that are still loco hauled) seem to be well cared for. Those that run on this regional line however, are notoriously dirty, and interestingly enough, still have the old style round buffers. Shot a few months ago at Cologne Central Station.

In contrast, most 143s that run on the S6 (which stops about 400 meters from my house) look a little bit like this:




What's also interesting: Most locomotives these days hardly ever get uncoupled from their train, all thanks to cab cars. As a result, the end that's usually visible is kept clean, while the one that usually faces the leading carriage doesn't receive much care. When the cab car breaks for some reason, the locomotive has to be brought around, and looks a little bit like this:

How locomotives should look, a clean engine is a lazy engine. ;)

Extremely, I have never seen it pulling freight. :P

But they do spend far to much time polishing it. ;P

Das mit den unterschiedlichen Puffern ist mir nie aufgefallen, interessant! Überhaupt, die Unterschiede zwischen den S- und Regionalbahnmaschinen…

Die eckigen sind ja besser gegen Überpuffern, aber scheinbar haben dennoch einige 143er die runden behalten. Hab die bisher glaub ich nur bei denen auf dieser RB gesehen (und natürlich beim Bender).
