Why this kit matters

The Deutsche Bundesbahn Class V 200, later designated Class 220, became a symbol of West Germany’s post-war railway modernisation. Introduced in the 1950s, these locomotives hauled prestigious passenger trains and heavy freight services across non-electrified routes.

Its striking streamlined design and distinctive red livery have made the V 200 one of the most recognisable European diesel locomotives ever built.

How to use it

Place the locomotive on compatible HO scale track and operate it with your railway controller. Couple it to passenger or freight stock to recreate classic German railway services.

This is a precision scale model. Assembly, paint, and glue are not required. It is not a toy.
