This requirement was based very closely on the specifications for the prototypes of the E10 series under construction at the Deutsche Bundesbahn (West German Federal Railway). In cooperation with Lokomotivbau Elektronisch Werke (LEW), the Deutsche Reichsbahn began developing the universal locomotive E11 in the mid-1950s. As with Deutsche Bahn, however, it soon became clear that there was no getting around the need to derive an independent freight locomotive. The mechanical part of the new series was very much based on the U4 developed by LEW for the Polish State Railways. In addition, the construction principles of the electric locomotives without running axles, which were put into service at BLS and SBB in the 1940s, served as the basis for the development. For the electrical systems, the plan was to acquire West German licences, however this was ultimately not possible and so these systems had to be developed internally. The development work culminated in the two test locomotives E11 001 and 002, which were handed over by LEW to the Deutsche Reichsbahn in 1960 for testing. After completion of the test drives, the knowledge thus gained flowed into the series production of the E11 and E42. The two test locomotives entered regular service and were technically adapted to match the series locomotives by 1966. With the service number 211 001-3, the GDR’s first new electric locomotive has survived to this day and can be seen in the DB Museum in Halle\/Saale.\u003cbr\u003eExtra mounted handrails in low-material thickness\u003cbr\u003eFinely detailed chassis\u003cbr\u003eFree-standing roof lines\u003cbr\u003eIlluminated driver's cab (Version Digital EXTRA)\u003cbr\u003ePrepared for sound or with built-in sound\u003cbr\u003eNEM-standard close-coupling\u003cbr\u003eMetal wheels and frame\u003cbr\u003eMany extra mounted parts\u003cbr\u003ePrototypical multipart roof-fittings\u003cbr\u003eMetal pantographs\u003cbr\u003eExtra mounted windscreen wiper\u003cbr\u003eFine paintwork and painting\u003cbr\u003eLength over buffers: 187,6 mm\u003cbr\u003eBefahrbarer Mindestradius: 360 mm\u003cbr\u003eSchnittstelle: PluX22\u003cbr\u003eAnzahl Haftreifen: 2\u003cbr\u003eSchwungmasse: eingebaut\u003cbr\u003eLichtwechsel: Dreilicht-Spitzensignal \u0026amp; zwei rote Schlusslichter in Fahrtrichtung wechselnd\u003cbr\u003eInnenbeleuchtung: eingebaut\u003cbr\u003eSound: vorbereitet","brand":"Brawa","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49329734746349,"sku":"Brawa-58224","price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0279\/4422\/2794\/files\/Brawa-58224.jpg?v=1769966186","url":"https:\/\/ajckids.com\/products\/brawa-58224","provider":"Ajckids","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
