BRAWA 43122 - H0 electric locomotive BR E42 DR

Role model information

The two test locomotives of the first, newly developed electric locomotives E11 001 and 002 of the Deutsche Reichsbahn (DR) met the expectations placed on them. After a few necessary improvements, production began in 1962 of the first series E11 for express train service and E42 for freight and passenger train service. In contrast to the locomotives of the later deliveries, the locomotives have four combined double ventilation grilles on each side and stiffening beads on the frame side surfaces. The climbing steps and handles also differed. The fronts of the E11 003-020 and E42 001-022 were covered with an apron below the buffer beam, which gave the locomotives a certain elegance. Similar to the DB's E10, these skirts caused problems during operation, which is why they were removed when inspections were due or simply not reinstalled. In the period that followed, the locomotives of the E11 and E42 series, which were now also called 211 and 242, were found on the electrified routes of the DR. Only with the advent of the successors to the 243 series and the political change that initiated the merger of the Reichsbahn and the Federal Railway to form the DB AG did the phase-outs of the now 109 and 142 series gradually begin. To this day, some are still in operation with private railway companies.
