Piko H0 51477 H0 Electric Locomotive 194 178 of the DB

The need for heavy freight train locomotives led the DB to replicate a total of 43 locomotives of the E 94 series in the years 1954 to 1956

This also included the E 94 178, which was led after the conversion of the DB series scheme in 1968 as 194 178

At the main examination on 08

January 1976, the locomotive received a paint in the colours ocean blue and ivory valid from 1974 onwards at the DB

However, the division of the colours with a bright contrasting surface on the front did not convince due to the vulnerability to protection in this area
