Prototype History:
To reduce the time-consuming locomotive switch at the borders with Holland, Belgium, Luxemburg or France, the DB wanted to develop a multisystem locomotive in particular for long-distance services to the above mentioned countries. These multisystem locomotives had to stay in front of the train until the end station was reached, so exploitation was a lot easier and also costs less time.

With the experiences done with the three locomotives E 320 (BR 182), the BZA München developed together with AEG, BCC and Krupp a locomotive for two currents (E 310) and a locomotive for four currents (E 410, renamed BR 184).
Road Name History:
Deutsche Bahn AG (abbreviated as DB, DB AG or DBAG) is a German railway company. Headquartered in Berlin, it is a private joint-stock company (AG), with the Federal Republic of Germany being its single shareholder. Deutsche Bahn describes itself as the second-largest transport company in the world, after the German postal and logistics company Deutsche Post / DHL, and is the largest railway operator and infrastructure owner in Europe. It carries about two billion passengers each year.

Deutsche Bahn (literally "German Railway" in German) came into existence in 1994 as the successor to the former state railways of Germany, the Deutsche Bundesbahn ("German Federal Railway") of West Germany and the Deutsche Reichsbahn ("German Empire Railway") of East Germany. It also gained ownership of former railway assets in West Berlin held by the Verwaltung des ehemaligen Reichsbahnvermögens (Administration of the Former Reichsbahn Assets).
Brand/Importer Information:
Hobbytrain was an Austrian firm, that was acquired by Wolfgang Lemke GmbH in 2002. It produces HO and N scale models.
