Baureihe 111 - Der letzte E-Lok-Klassiker der Deutschen Bundesbahn

NUEVO

La serie 111 es la última serie de locomotoras eléctricas de la antigua Deutsche Bundesbahn (DB) que aún opera en gran número en la red ferroviaria alemana. Entre 1974 y 1984 se fabricaron 227 unidades de cuatro ejes.

Esta serie fue la última locomotora eléctrica de la DB con tecnología de tracción convencional; las series posteriores usaron únicamente motores asíncronos trifásicos. En años recientes, estas locomotoras han ganado atención entre los aficionados al ferrocarril, especialmente por las muchas variantes de color atractivas que aún circulan, convirtiéndolas en un objeto popular para la fotografía.

Este libro está dedicado a la exitosa serie 111, en servicio por más de 50 años, y presenta la historia, diseño y tecnología de esta clásica locomotora eléctrica.

Die Bügelfalte - Die Baureihe E 10 der Deutschen Bundesbahn

Pocas series de locomotoras han marcado tanto el trabajo diario de la Deutsche Bundesbahn durante más de cincuenta años como la serie E 10. Diseñadas como locomotoras eléctricas rápidas bajo el programa estándar, estas locomotoras robustas y elegantes de cuatro ejes se convirtieron en iconos en Alemania Occidental. Remolcaban trenes expresos legendarios como el "Rheingold" y el "Rheinpfeil".

Incluso décadas después, siguieron siendo esenciales, transportando trenes regionales y de autos con fiabilidad hasta el siglo XXI. Recibieron su nombre por su aspecto característico. El libro de Heinrich Petersen ofrece una visión detallada del desarrollo, la técnica y la historia de esta clase.

Die Baureihe E 50 - Einheits-Ellok für den schweren Güterzugdienst

The E 50 series, with a nominal output of 4500 kW and six axles, was considered the most powerful and longest standard locomotive series. 194 units were manufactured by 1973, and the last ones ended their service life in 2003. Two of these locomotives have been preserved as museums.

Despite being classified as standard electric locomotives, the E 50s had subtle external differences, which are presented in a separate chapter. The first machines were built for electrified routes in southern Germany.
With the expansion of the electrical network to the north, the area of use and the number of units expanded. The chronicle of the E 50 series sheds light on this development as well as the decline in the years around the turn of the millennium.
A comprehensive list of where all E 50s were stationed and a description of their use by the home depots are also included in this work.

Die Mehrsystem-Elloks der Deutschen Bundesbahn - Die Baureihen 181, 182, 183 und 184

In the 1960s, Deutsche Bahn broke new ground in cross-border electric locomotive traffic to France, Belgium, the Netherlands and Luxembourg. The different power systems in the neighboring countries required the development of innovative "multi-system locomotives".

After experimental work from 1960 with the E 320 and E 344, development reached its first peak in 1965: the four-system locomotives of the E 410 and 184 series known as "Europalok". The two-system locomotives of the 181.0-2 series were a complete success with highly developed technology and proved themselves in use for over four decades. These universal locomotives excelled in high-quality passenger train service and in front of freight trains.

This EK Baureihe-series book offers for the first time a comprehensive presentation of the origins and history of the DB multi-system electric locomotives. Their technology and wide-ranging operational use made them special in German locomotive construction.
The attractive and popular 181 in particular helped to establish the Europe-wide multi-system operation that is now taken for granted.

Baureihe 120 - Revolution der Antriebstechnik

The development of the electric locomotives of the 120 series to series production took around ten years. Their construction marked a milestone in the design of electric locomotives, as it brought about a true revolution in drive technology: from then on, three-phase technology was almost exclusively used in new electric locomotives.
Based on the technology of the series, the first ICE traction units were even developed in the mid-1980s.

Karl-Gerhard Haas reports on the development, construction and history of this revolutionary series, whose service life at DB AG is unfortunately coming to an end.

Altbau-Elektroloks

The fifties and sixties: On the still relatively few electrified lines of the Bundesbahn, in addition to the first new-build machines, old electric locomotives still dominate the scene - locomotives that date back to the Reichsbahn era or were even designed or built by the state railways.
But there were also some locomotives that were rebuilt in the fifties due to a lack of new designs ready for production: E 04, E 16, E 17, E 18, E 19, E 32, E 44, E 60, E 63, E 52, E 75, E 91, E 93 and E 94, unusual types such as the E 80, E 170 or the battery-powered small locomotives, and also 50 Hz machines in the Höllental.

For this book, Dr. Rolf Brüning has compiled a good hundred photographs from his unique color slide archive, which take us back 40 or 50 years to a long-gone era of railways. In introductory texts, the author explains the technical development that led to these machines.

Die Krokodile - Elektroloks der SBB, ÖBB, RhB und DB (Lok-Legenden)

Apenas hay otro tipo de locomotora tan popular como los cocodrilos suizos, que deben su apodo a su apariencia característica y a su larga presencia en la vida ferroviaria cotidiana.

A partir de 1920, desempeñaron un papel clave en la tracción en el Gotardo durante varias décadas. Pero los difíciles de pasar por alto "cocodrilos" también estuvieron en uso incansable en otras líneas ferroviarias desde el principio, tirando principalmente de trenes de carga pesados y largos. Esto convirtió a las locomotoras en sinónimo de potencia, fiabilidad y durabilidad.

Este volumen sobre leyendas de locomotoras describe la historia, el desarrollo y el uso en palabras y fotos.

Unsterbliche Baureihe 103 - Die DB-Paradeloks von Ende 2002 bis 2014

The 103 series undoubtedly belongs to the elite of German locomotives and embodies fascination, myth and legend in equal measure. Even more than 20 years after the actual end of service at DB AG, the "Passion for the Hundred and Three" has by no means died out. On the contrary: the "post-era" is still surprisingly lively today with a handful of operational 103 locomotives.

This high-quality illustrated book lets you review the highlights of the events with the "stars" 103 113, 103 184, 103 222, 103 235 and 103 245 as well as other active machines since the end of 2002.
Experience these parade locomotives in use in front of nostalgic trains, during measurement and test runs as well as in front of some IC trains that are once again being operated as scheduled.

Der Taurus - Die Baureihe 182 der DB AG & die Reihe 1016/1116 der ÖBB (Lok-Legenden)

The Taurus is the award-winning, successful model among modern electric locomotives, of which more than 500 have been manufactured to date. At the end of the 1990s, the Austrian Bundesbahns (ÖBB) decided to purchase a new, faster and more powerful locomotive for express trains and freight transport - the 230 km/h, 6400 kW Taurus, which was developed and built by Siemens.

Páginas del libro "Der Taurus - Die Baureihe 182 der DB AG & die Reihe 1016/1116 der ÖBB"

The new locomotive proved so successful that it is now in regular use in Germany, Hungary, Poland, the Czech Republic, Slovakia and Switzerland. On September 2, 2006, Siemens even set a world record for conventional locomotives with a series-produced Taurus: on the new Nuremberg-Ingolstadt line, the machine reached 357 km/h.

Werner Kurtz is an expert on the Taurus and has written down the history, design and technology of the successful locomotive type in this volume.

Neubau-Elektroloks der Deutschen Bundesbahn

The so-called Neubau electric locomotives became symbols of the modern Bundesbahn from the mid-1950s onwards. The blue E 10 was the standard express train locomotive for decades, its green counterpart, the E 40, the most frequently encountered freight train locomotive.
The light universal locomotive E 41 rounded off this range at the lower end, and the six-axle E 50 at the higher end. The steel blue and beige painted E 10.12 and a few years later the E 03 brought unrivalled elegance to the DB's tracks.

In addition to these legendary locomotive types, most of which have now disappeared from operational service, this book also presents the more recent vehicles such as the 111 or 151 series, the multi-system and the first three-phase electric locomotives of the Bundesbahn.
