Märklin 55255 Track 1 series 151 electric locomotive of DB Cargo
From 1997 the color was changed again to traffic-red and the latz on the locomotive fronts gave way to a narrower beam. After an accident repair in the Opladen AW, the 151 004 became the first in the new paint dress in September 1997. From autumn 1998, the equipment of the 151's began with the DBS 54 single-arm pantograph, which then gradually receives almost all machines. With the foundation of DB Cargo AG as of January 1, 1999 and the assignment of all 151's to it, the use of the machines in passenger train traffic also ended. Their membership of the DB goods traffic division now shows the lateral inscription DB Cargo. From November 2003, all 151's were based in Nuremberg RBF, with other plants involved in their maintenance.Heavy goods train locomotive series 151 from DB Cargo. Traffic red color scheme.
