Built between 1964 and 1976, the Class V 100 family featured a B-B wheel arrangement and medium-power diesel engines that made it well suited for mixed freight and passenger duties, regional services, and branch line work across East Germany’s standard-gauge network. (en.wikipedia.org)\nOriginally classified as V 100 in the Deutsche Reichsbahn numbering system, these locomotives were renumbered in the DR Class 110 to 112 series as more engines entered service. Individual sub-classes included 110, 111, and 112, each reflecting incremental improvements and variations in engine power and equipment. Many V 100 locomotives survived German reunification and continued service with Deutsche Bahn AG and private operators into the 1990s and early 2000s, demonstrating the design’s adaptability and durability. (en.wikipedia.org)\nThe DR Class V 100’s compact size, classic bonnet profile, and widespread use across East German branch lines and regional services make it an enduring prototype for HO-scale model railway layouts, especially those depicting Cold War and post-war German diesel operations. Whether handling local passenger trains or shunting duties, the V 100 family captures the character of mid-20th-century transition from steam to diesel traction on European secondary routes.","brand":"Roco","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53168686465361,"sku":"RC7310107","price":269.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0865\/4992\/2129\/files\/rc7310107_1.jpg?v=1772223381","url":"https:\/\/www.jadlamracingmodels.com\/products\/roco-7310107-dr-br110-diesel-locomotive-iv-dcc-sound-ho-gauge","provider":"Jadlam Toys \u0026 Models","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
