Information zum Vorbild
Ausgehend von der Baureihe V 160 führte die Entwicklung
über einen Zeitraum von 15 Jahren und mehreren Varianten
zum Bau der Serienlokomotiven der Baureihe 218. Zur Zeit
ihrer Auslieferung im Jahr 1971 repräsentierten sie die mo-
dernste Konzeption einmotoriger Großdiesellokomotiven für
den Einsatz vor schweren Reise- und Güterzügen. All die
Erfahrungen, die man mit den Baureihen 215 und 216 gesam-
melt hatte, konnten bei der BR 218 verwertet werden. Neu
war jetzt der Einbau einer hydrodynamischen Bremse, wo-
durch die Höchstgeschwindigkeit auf 140 km/h angehoben
werden konnte und eine elektrische Zugheizung statt der
bisherigen Dampfheizung. Der neue 12-Zylinder-Motor von
MAN und Maybach-Mercedes erbrachte mit 2500 PS ausrei-
chend Leistung für den Generator der Heizung und den hy-
draulischen Antrieb der Lokomotive. Ein Hilfsmotor war somit
nicht mehr nötig. Lieferanten der BR 218 waren die Firmen
Krupp, Krauss-Maffei und Rheinstahl.
Die zuverlässige BR 218 wird in ganz Deutschland vor Gü-
ter- und Reisezügen bis hin zum Intercity eingesetzt, sowohl
einzeln als auch in Doppeltraktion. Zahlreiche Farbvarianten
gab und gibt es von purpurrot über ozeanblau-beige bis zu
orientrot mit weißem „Lätzchen“ auf der Stirnseite, heute in
verkehrsrot mit weißem Querbalken. Daneben als einzige die
218 217-8 in TEE-Farben und 10 Loks in den Farben der City-
Bahn Köln-Gummersbach orange-kieselgrau. Schließlich
noch Sonderlackierungen für DB Touristik, König-Ludwig-
Musical und „Sonderzug nach Pankow“ von Udo Lindenberg.
Information about the Prototype
Starting with the class V 160, the development of the class
218 regular production locomotives proceeded over a time
period of 15 years and several variants to the construction of
regular production locomotives. At the time they were deliv-
ered in 1971, they represented the most up-to-date concept
for single-motor large diesel locomotives for use with heavy
passenger and freight trains. All of the experience gathered
with the classes 215 and 216 was utilized in the class 218. The
installation of hydrodynamic brakes as new, which allowed
the maximum speed to be raised to 140 km/h / 88 mph, as was
electric train heating instead of the previous steam heat. The
new 12-cylinder motor from MAN and Maybach-Mercedes
produced 2,500 horsepower, sufficient for the generator for
the heating and for the hydraulic drive system for the loco-
motive. An auxiliary motor was no longer necessary. Build-
ers of the class 218 were the firms Krupp, Krauss-Maffei, and
Rheinstahl.
The reliable class 218 is used all over Germany for freight and
passenger trains up to and including Intercity express trains,
individually as well as in multiple unit operation. There were
and are numerous color variations from crimson red to ocean
blue / beige to Chinese red white „bibs“ on the ends, at pres-
ent in „traffic“ red with white rectangles. In addition to that,
there is road number 218 217-8 as the only unit in TEE colors
and 10 locomotives in the colors of the City-Bahn from Co-
logne to Gummersbach in orange / gravel gray. Finally, there
are the special paint schemes for the DB Touristik subsidiary,
The King Ludwig musical and the „Special Train to Pankow“
by Udo Lindenberg.
