ROCO- item 43428 - German (DB) electric engine, olive green DB markings, class BRE91

As early as 1922 the first order was placed by the DRG for 30 heavy goods locomotives with a C+C wheels arrangement, for mountain railway services, as part of their procurement plan for electric locomotives. They were delivered by Krauss (mechanical elements) and WASSEG (electrical equipment) in 1925 and 1926. Sixteen units were allocated to the Bavarian railway network. They were given the designation EG 5 22 501 – 516. The other 14 machines were deployed to the Silesian network as EG 581 Breslau to EG 594 Breslau (today Wroclaw). On the introduction of computerised operating numbers, the locomotives were reclassified in 1969 to 191s and given three-digit running numbers.
