German Federal Railroad class 160. 3 axles powered. 2 traction tires. Electronic reverse unit. Length over buffers 12.8 cm (5"). The class 160 was one of the few electric switch engines taken over from the former German State Railroad by the German Federal Railroad. These locomotives were mainly stationed in the Rhine-Neckar urban areas. Their driving wheel arrangement was quite clearly related to that of the E 91 heavy freight locomotive. The efforts to standardize parts of designs can be recognized in these units.
