Locomotive elettriche - Germania: libri illustrati di storia e guide (3/3)

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

NUOVO

The Class 111 is the last electric locomotive series of the former Deutsche Bundesbahn (DB) still operating in significant numbers on Germany's rail network. A total of 227 four-axle units were produced between 1974 and 1984.

This series was the last DB electric locomotive to use conventional drive technology; later models only featured three-phase asynchronous drives. In recent years, these locomotives have gained increased attention among rail enthusiasts, especially due to the many attractive color schemes still in service, making them popular subjects for photography.

This book is dedicated to the successful Class 111, which has been in operation for over 50 years. It provides a detailed account of the history, design, and technology of this classic electric locomotive.

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 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.

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.
