Description

And the last one from the recently used photo spot!




Solo class 151 freight locomotive.




These were the last six-axle locomotives to be comissioned by the Bundesbahn, as four axles were much more preferred. Interestingly, it was based on the 103, which seems odd at first, but becomes obvious when comparing the two frames and the entire carbody, which can be lifted off in segments. That way, even major damage was easy to repair, assuming that the frame remained intact.

What I quite liked about this shot is how odd it looks... We have a massive 118 tonne behemoth with over 8000hp, almost twenty meters long, but from here, it looks like something puny on two tiny stilts.

Gotta love a strong telezoom!
