Younger granddaughter wanted some lights so we put some up.Very nice in Black and White
Great job! Dave
I wouldn't mind seeing some more picks of that BR151 class.
Always liked the heavy six axle electric power. I might have seen one or two while driving through Germany in red DB scheme. But trying to pay attention to the road really prevented me from really looking though. I like the 150 class even better, but those i think are fewer and not sure if still in use. I did not know that 151 was a mixed service locomotive, i thought it was pure freight.You probably know these Br.151s were designed, at first, for heavy freight and passenger service. After a very short time in passenger service, German safety regulations changed and these locomotives did not have the required safety equipment for passenger service. They were thereafter consigned to freight service and are still in use today.
They are still in DB passenger service on my railroad.

Back from several years ago when i build a layout in my appartment. ET21 freight electric with Co-Co axle layout, nicknamed "Sputnik" by Polish railfans. Tey came out starting in 1957, same year as the Russians launched their like named rocket into space.
