Germany: the growing road freight market of the late 1960s quickly presented
itself as a threat to railway freight traffic. The need for a fiercer
competitor from the Deutsche Bundesbahn was soon apparent, and it was decided
that the best solution would be a fleet of all-new electric locomotives
dedicated to hauling freight.

The term ‘all-new’ however proved to be quite flexible, time was of the
essence, and the new arrivals would be heavily based on the older DB BR 150.
In fact, some of the earliest proposals simply involved up-rating and tweaking
the traction motors of the BR 150 to cope with 120 km/h performance. In
theory, this would have solved the traction problem, but enhanced BR 150s
could only haul heavy freight expresses at a maximum of 100 km/h, not ideal
for any viable competition.

Much more powerful equipment from other designs were soon drafted into the
plan, and so was a new bogie to take the weight increase. Eventually a new
locomotive was finalised, and DB BR 151 No. 001 rolled off the production line
in November 1972. A further 10 locomotives would follow, and this initial
batch would be subject to rigorous testing before the full order was met.

When new, the DB BR 151 fleet, which would amass to 170 locomotives, were
capable of both passenger and freight work, although the former is no longer
possible due to changes in mandatory systems. Where the 118 tons powerhouses
found their calling however was on the heavy ore trains. A total of 20
locomotives were retrofitted with the sturdy “Unicoupler AK69e” coupling
system, which could facilitate the BR 151s on the 6000-ton ore trains, a
weight too heavy for standard screw couplings.

Today, the remaining fleet is owned by various operators as newer traction has
surpassed the might of the DB BR 151, but the heavy-hauling veteran has
something of a pedigree about it; a call back to a time of classic design and
raw power, and the story of the DB BR 151 is yours to continue in Train
Simulator!
