Indeed, some of these extremely popular machines remain indispensable to this day and are used to operate IC services through the Allgäu region as far as Stuttgart or in the far North. They can also be seen operating scheduled trains of red bi-level cars. By now, they have certainly achieved cult status! Throughout their long service life, the class 218 locos have always adapted to the various color schemes of the DB. To begin with, they were crimson, and today, they are traffic red. However, some ended up with unusual liveries. One of these, road number 218 341, received an elegant IC look at the Cottbus depot. The light gray loco body with a smart red decorative stripe suits the machine perfectly. This puts it in a special position because one-off designs always attract more attention – in real life and, of course, on a model railroad layout.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"grid-x grid-margin-x top-20\" id=\"scroll-features\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"cell medium-10 medium-offset-1 end\"\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"hdl-2\"\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"grid-x grid-margin-x\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"cell large-6 bottom-40 text-small text-600\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"picto-badge bg-grey-19 picto-1020\"\u003e$\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"inline-block picto-text\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"cell large-6 bottom-40 text-small text-600\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"picto-badge bg-grey-19 picto-B_31\"\u003e\/\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"inline-block picto-text\"\u003eMetal locomotive frame.\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"cell large-6 bottom-40 text-small text-600\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"picto-badge bg-grey-19 picto-E_11\"\u003eN\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"inline-block picto-text\"\u003eTriple headlights and two red marker lights that change over with the direction of travel.\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"cell large-6 bottom-40 text-small text-600\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"picto-badge bg-grey-19 picto-E6\"\u003e8\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"inline-block picto-text\"\u003eEra 6\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"cell large-6 bottom-40 text-small text-600\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"picto-badge bg-grey-19 picto-1018\"\u003eY\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"inline-block picto-text\"\u003eATTENTION: adults only\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"grid-x grid-margin-x bottom-20\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"cell medium-10 medium-offset-1 end text-small text-600\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"hdl-3\"\u003eWarning\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"grid-x grid-margin-x\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"cell large-6 bottom-40 text-small text-600\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"bg-grey-19 warn-ico warn-3\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"inline-block picto-text top-25\"\u003eATTENTION: adults only\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"cell large-6 bottom-40 text-small text-600\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"bg-grey-19 warn-ico warn-us-2\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"inline-block picto-text top-25\"\u003eATTENTION: not for children under 15 year\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Marklin","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50682240106733,"sku":"Marklin-83781","price":283.56,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0279\/4422\/2794\/files\/Marklin-83781_01.jpg?v=1789405754","url":"https:\/\/ajckids.com\/products\/marklin-83781","provider":"Ajckids","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
