Description
Diesel locomotive 118 616 of the Deutsche Reichsbahn.

- "Economy" finish
- 6-axis version
- Home Rbd Magdeburg/Bw Brandenburg
- Switchable tail light with DIP switch

The class V 180 of the Deutsche Reichsbahn of the GDR was the largest diesel locomotive built in the GDR. It was initially built in a four-axle version with two 2-axle bogies, later there were also 6-axle variants. The low axle load of 15.6 t is still considered an engineering masterpiece in the six-axle version, so that this locomotive can also be used universally on branch lines. It also has an approval for steep sections. The resulting potential area of application is unique for large German diesel locomotives.

The V 180 accelerated the traction change at the Deutsche Reichsbahn, replacing various steam locomotive series in the performance classes above the V 100. In 1995, the last locomotives retired from operational service at DB AG. After that, numerous examples were sold to private railways.
