The prototype:
The V200 was THE locomotive face of the Deutsche Bundesbahn (DB) in the 1950s. No other diesel locomotive shaped the image of the young DB as much as the long locomotive with the characteristic aluminium decorative stripes, which tapered to a stylised V at the ends. The series-produced locomotives built from 1956 onwards were powered by 1100 hp (at 1500 rpm) 12-cylinder engines from Daimler-Benz (MB 820 Bb), MAN (12 V 18/21) or Maybach (MD 650). A Hagenuk steam boiler was used to heat the train and was capable of heating an express train with ten to twelve carriages. A special feature was the equipment of all V200.0s with a multiple control system, which made double traction and push-pull operation possible. With Krauss-Maffei (V200 001 - 005, V200 026 - 086) and MaK (V200 006 to 025) only two manufacturers supplied the 86 locomotives to the DB.
The MaK locomotives differed markedly at the front from the Krauss-Maffei locomotives by a flatter design of the V. Initial allocations of series locomotives were made to the railway depots (Bw) Frankfurt-Griesheim (15 units), Hamburg-Altona (19), Hamm P (32) and Villingen/Schwarzwald (20). Already ex works, V200 056 to 086 received simple DB logos on the sides instead of the conspicuous lettering Deutsche Bundesbahn. From the early 1970s, the aluminium trim was removed and the locomotives were given a decorative line to separate the red and grey sections. Three V200s were painted in the 1970s in the then modern colours of ocean blue and ivory. The distinctive V at the front was omitted. After the DB had already withdrawn the 220s from service from 1978, it offered the locomotives, some of which were only 20 years old, for sale to foreign railways. A total of 30 locomotives found buyers in Italy, France (Algeria) and Spain.
