Additional information

German State Railroad Company (DRG) class E 60. With digital decoder and controlled high-efficiency propulsion. Headlights digitally controlled. 3 axles powered. 2 traction tires. Pantograph with a double wiper contact strip. Prototypical window arrangement. Length over buffers 12.8 cm (5-1/16").

By 1934 the DRG had ordered a total of 14 units of the class E 60. They were planned for switching work in large stations. They were equipped with pantographs with a double wiper contact strip to guarantee reliable current conduction in this work. These locomotives turned out so well, that they were occasionally used in commuter traffic around Munich.
