Electric locomotive 186 251-5 Railpool DC-H0

Railpool already benefited in 2009 from the fact that Angel Trains was unable to find a use for its newly built fleet of locomotives 186 101–110, which were therefore taken over by Railpool. Originally intended as D-A-CH-I variants, these locomotives were later equipped with the additional country package for the Netherlands. Locomotive 186 251, also ordered by ATC and designed for service in D-A-PL, began its initial test runs in 2008 and was sold to Railpool in 2011. None of the eleven locomotives ever passed the acceptance tests at Angel Trains and were initially used as test units before eventually being sold to Railpool. These locomotives played a key role in approval runs for operations in the Netherlands. The model is depicted with red UIC sockets and silver Railpool lettering on the front, reflecting its delivery condition from 2011 to around 2018. During this period, locomotive 186 251 was operated by various rail transport companies, such as RTC, Lokomotion, and BLS Cargo. More information...
