Locomotive elettriche - Germania: libri illustrati di storia e guide

Die Krokodile - Elektroloks der SBB, ÖBB, RhB und DB (Lok-Legenden)

Quasi nessun altro tipo di locomotiva è popolare quanto i coccodrilli svizzeri, che devono il loro soprannome al loro aspetto caratteristico e alla loro lunga presenza nella vita ferroviaria quotidiana.

Dal 1920 in poi, hanno svolto un ruolo chiave nella trazione sul Gotthard per diversi decenni. Ma gli inconfondibili "coccodrilli" sono stati anche instancabilmente utilizzati su altre linee ferroviarie fin dall'inizio, trainando principalmente treni merci pesanti e lunghi. Questo ha reso le locomotive sinonimo di potenza, affidabilità e durata.

Questo volume sulle leggende delle locomotive descrive la storia, lo sviluppo e l'utilizzo con parole e immagini.

Altbau-Elektroloks

The fifties and sixties: On the still relatively few electrified lines of the Bundesbahn, in addition to the first new-build machines, old electric locomotives still dominate the scene - locomotives that date back to the Reichsbahn era or were even designed or built by the state railways.
But there were also some locomotives that were rebuilt in the fifties due to a lack of new designs ready for production: E 04, E 16, E 17, E 18, E 19, E 32, E 44, E 60, E 63, E 52, E 75, E 91, E 93 and E 94, unusual types such as the E 80, E 170 or the battery-powered small locomotives, and also 50 Hz machines in the Höllental.

For this book, Dr. Rolf Brüning has compiled a good hundred photographs from his unique color slide archive, which take us back 40 or 50 years to a long-gone era of railways. In introductory texts, the author explains the technical development that led to these machines.

Baureihe 111 - Der letzte E-Lok-Klassiker der Deutschen Bundesbahn

NUOVO

La serie 111 è l'ultima serie di locomotive elettriche dell'ex Deutsche Bundesbahn (DB) ancora in servizio in numero significativo sulla rete ferroviaria tedesca. Tra il 1974 e il 1984 sono state prodotte 227 unità a quattro assi.

Questa serie fu l'ultima locomotiva elettrica della DB dotata di tecnologia di trazione convenzionale; i modelli successivi utilizzavano esclusivamente motori asincroni trifase. Negli ultimi anni, queste locomotive hanno attirato l'attenzione degli appassionati di ferrovie, soprattutto grazie alle numerose livree attrattive ancora in servizio, il che le rende soggetti popolari per la fotografia.

Questo libro è dedicato alla serie 111, che è in servizio da oltre 50 anni. Descrive in dettaglio la storia, il design e la tecnologia di questa locomotive elettrica classica.

Baureihe 120 - Revolution der Antriebstechnik

The development of the electric locomotives of the 120 series to series production took around ten years. Their construction marked a milestone in the design of electric locomotives, as it brought about a true revolution in drive technology: from then on, three-phase technology was almost exclusively used in new electric locomotives.
Based on the technology of the series, the first ICE traction units were even developed in the mid-1980s.

Karl-Gerhard Haas reports on the development, construction and history of this revolutionary series, whose service life at DB AG is unfortunately coming to an end.

Der Taurus - Die Baureihe 182 der DB AG & die Reihe 1016/1116 der ÖBB (Lok-Legenden)

The Taurus is the award-winning, successful model among modern electric locomotives, of which more than 500 have been manufactured to date. At the end of the 1990s, the Austrian Bundesbahns (ÖBB) decided to purchase a new, faster and more powerful locomotive for express trains and freight transport - the 230 km/h, 6400 kW Taurus, which was developed and built by Siemens.

The new locomotive proved so successful that it is now in regular use in Germany, Hungary, Poland, the Czech Republic, Slovakia and Switzerland. On September 2, 2006, Siemens even set a world record for conventional locomotives with a series-produced Taurus: on the new Nuremberg-Ingolstadt line, the machine reached 357 km/h.

Werner Kurtz is an expert on the Taurus and has written down the history, design and technology of the successful locomotive type in this volume.

Die Baureihe E 10 - Entstehung, Technik und Einsatzgeschichte

When the Deutsche Bundesbahn, founded in 1949, put the test locomotives of the E 10 series into service in 1952 and the series locomotives in 1956, they were seen as symbols of a new beginning and reconstruction after the Second World War.
On the DB's electric network, which grew rapidly from the mid-1950s, this series was responsible for transporting fast and, above all, high-quality trains.

The E 10's star began to fall when the series 103, 111 and later the 120 largely pushed it out of local transport. Most of the 416 E 10/110s built have now been scrapped.
But some of the machines reclassified as series 115 are still in daily use by the DB, even though they are already more than 50 years old. A few locomotives have found new employment with private railways. Several machines have been preserved as museum pieces.

The revised new edition of the book has been extended by 32 pages to 336. The supplement documents the development of the series from 2005 to 2015 and illustrates it with numerous new images.

Die Baureihe E 50 - Einheits-Ellok für den schweren Güterzugdienst

The E 50 series, with a nominal output of 4500 kW and six axles, was considered the most powerful and longest standard locomotive series. 194 units were manufactured by 1973, and the last ones ended their service life in 2003. Two of these locomotives have been preserved as museums.

Despite being classified as standard electric locomotives, the E 50s had subtle external differences, which are presented in a separate chapter. The first machines were built for electrified routes in southern Germany.
With the expansion of the electrical network to the north, the area of use and the number of units expanded. The chronicle of the E 50 series sheds light on this development as well as the decline in the years around the turn of the millennium.
A comprehensive list of where all E 50s were stationed and a description of their use by the home depots are also included in this work.

Die Bügelfalte - Die Baureihe E 10 der Deutschen Bundesbahn

Poche serie di locomotive hanno segnato la vita quotidiana della Deutsche Bundesbahn per più di cinquant'anni come la serie E 10. Progettate come locomotive veloci nell'ambito del programma standardizzato delle locomotive elettriche, queste locomotive robuste ed eleganti a quattro assi sono diventate emblematiche nella Germania Ovest. Trascinavano treni espressi leggendari come il "Rheingold" e il "Rheinpfeil".

Anche decenni dopo, rimanevano indispensabili, assicurando in modo affidabile i treni regionali e i treni per il trasporto di automobili fino al XXI secolo. Il loro nome deriva dal loro aspetto caratteristico. Il libro di Heinrich Petersen offre una panoramica dettagliata dello sviluppo, delle caratteristiche tecniche e della storia di questa serie.

Die Ellok-Baureihen E 01 und E 71¹ - Entwicklung, Einsatz und Verbleib der ES 9-19 und EG 511-537

In March 1914, the Royal Prussian State Railway put its first series-produced electric locomotives into operation. This book is a comprehensive review of the locomotive history of that time.
The reader not only learns a lot about the first Prussian series-produced electric locomotives ES 9 to 19 (from 1926 series E 01), EG 511 to 537 (from 1926 series E 71¹) and the EB 1 to 3 drive frames (decommissioned in 1922) that were related to freight locomotives, but the authors also convey interesting facts about the "companions" that accompanied them at home and abroad, as well as the technology typical of the time.

The paths of the two series are traced in detail and placed in a historical context. While the E 01 series (ex ES 9 to 19) ended its career in 1929, the small, indestructible freight train locomotives of the E 71¹ series began their career in the Wiesen- and Wehratal valleys in Baden after operations in central Germany, Silesia and Bavaria at the beginning of the 1930s.

The scheduled service for the E 71¹ series only ended after 45 years of service, in 1959. On both sides of the German-German border, their significance for the history of technology was recognized, in the east with the restored E 71 30 in the Dresden Transport Museum, in the west with the E 71 19 (now in Koblenz-Lützel) and the E 71 28 (now in Berlin).

Die Mehrsystem-Elloks der Deutschen Bundesbahn - Die Baureihen 181, 182, 183 und 184

In the 1960s, Deutsche Bahn broke new ground in cross-border electric locomotive traffic to France, Belgium, the Netherlands and Luxembourg. The different power systems in the neighboring countries required the development of innovative "multi-system locomotives".

After experimental work from 1960 with the E 320 and E 344, development reached its first peak in 1965: the four-system locomotives of the E 410 and 184 series known as "Europalok". The two-system locomotives of the 181.0-2 series were a complete success with highly developed technology and proved themselves in use for over four decades. These universal locomotives excelled in high-quality passenger train service and in front of freight trains.

This EK Baureihe-series book offers for the first time a comprehensive presentation of the origins and history of the DB multi-system electric locomotives. Their technology and wide-ranging operational use made them special in German locomotive construction.
The attractive and popular 181 in particular helped to establish the Europe-wide multi-system operation that is now taken for granted.

Elektrische Lokomotiven - Deutsche Reichsbahn-Gesellschaft, Deutsche Reichsbahn, Deutsche Bundesbahn

The work by Dieter Bäzold and Günther Fiebig not only provides an overview of the general development, but also presents a detailed description of all electric locomotives manufactured in Germany by the Deutsche Reichsbahn-Gesellschaft, Deutsche Reichsbahn and Deutsche Bundesbahn.
In chronological order, both individual and standard locomotives are presented in detail in their design features.

Neubau-Elektroloks der Deutschen Bundesbahn

The so-called Neubau electric locomotives became symbols of the modern Bundesbahn from the mid-1950s onwards. The blue E 10 was the standard express train locomotive for decades, its green counterpart, the E 40, the most frequently encountered freight train locomotive.
The light universal locomotive E 41 rounded off this range at the lower end, and the six-axle E 50 at the higher end. The steel blue and beige painted E 10.12 and a few years later the E 03 brought unrivalled elegance to the DB's tracks.

In addition to these legendary locomotive types, most of which have now disappeared from operational service, this book also presents the more recent vehicles such as the 111 or 151 series, the multi-system and the first three-phase electric locomotives of the Bundesbahn.

Unsterbliche Baureihe 103 - Die DB-Paradeloks von Ende 2002 bis 2014

The 103 series undoubtedly belongs to the elite of German locomotives and embodies fascination, myth and legend in equal measure. Even more than 20 years after the actual end of service at DB AG, the "Passion for the Hundred and Three" has by no means died out. On the contrary: the "post-era" is still surprisingly lively today with a handful of operational 103 locomotives.

This high-quality illustrated book lets you review the highlights of the events with the "stars" 103 113, 103 184, 103 222, 103 235 and 103 245 as well as other active machines since the end of 2002.
Experience these parade locomotives in use in front of nostalgic trains, during measurement and test runs as well as in front of some IC trains that are once again being operated as scheduled.
