Diesel Locomotive BR 216 DB

Analog version (non-digital)

After numerous debates, the Deutsche Bundesbahn introduced a new colour scheme to underline its modernity. Whereas there were very innovative ideas among the proposals, underlining the elegance of many railway vehicles, the result was rather modest in the opinion of many experts. &quot, Ocean bluebeige&quot,, as the new creation was called, was the most unpopular colour design among railway enthusiasts and only became a popular subject of photographs towards its foreseeable end. 216 105-7, put into service on 27.01.1967 as the 2000th diesel locomotive after the end of the war was the first locomotive of its class to receive the new livery. It was repainted on the occasion of an inspection on 14.10.1976 in Nuremberg.
