Märklin 039128 H0 E- LOC. BR E10.3 DB

The "crease" or quite prosaic the E10.3: There is hardly any German locomotive type that shaped the flowering time of the Federal Railways from the 1960s as the elegant and wind-cutting machines of the E10.3 series. Their impressive success story began in the 1950s, when the young Federal Railways drove the electrification and with the E10 an efficient and fast electric locomotive was ordered in large numbers. The first series (E10.0 and E10.1) still had a profane, angular locomotive body, and in 1962 the first specimens appeared with an aerodynamic front. The distinctive design with the "fold" in the middle soon brought the name "crease" to the version classified as E10.3. For decades, E10 were the workhorses in the high-quality passenger transport of the DB and the "Fold" was surely one of the stars on German tracks. From 1990 on, the E10 moved into regional traffic and provided reliable services there. The last "crease" only took place in 2013 with millions of kilometers on the hump onto the stalling track.Prototype: Electric locomotive series E10.3 of the German Federal Railways (DB).
