Additional information

German Railroad, Inc. class 120.1. With built-in DELTA module. 2 axles powered. 4 traction tires. Engineer's cabs with interior details. Length over buffers 22.1 cm (8-11/16").

The sponsors of this locomotive didn't want to commission a single artist for the design; they wanted to organize a regular competition. The students of the Frankfurt "Städel" School translated their thoughts on the theme of care for the elderly into a multitude of designs. The first prize was awarded to Harald Pridgar and his design was transformed onto the class 120 141-7. On September 3, 1997 the DIT locomotive was unveiled in the Frankfurt main station. The Deutsche Investment Trust DIT (German Investment Trust) was an enterprise of the Dresden Bank Investment Group.

This locomotive was produced as a one-time series only in 1998.
