BR 120 H0 Models
All H0-scale models of the BR 120 at a glance: the first three-phase electric locomotive of the Deutsche Bundesbahn as the technical pioneer of modern drive systems in 1:87 scale. Built from 1979 as a prototype and from 1987 in series — the technological blueprint for all modern AC-drive locomotives.
BR 120 H0 Models – The Three-Phase Pioneer of DB
The BR 120 was developed from 1979 as the first three-phase universal electric locomotive for mainline use — a global technical first that shaped the drive systems of all modern electric locomotives (152, 185, 189, 193). The five pre-series machines 120.0 tested three-phase technology from 1979, followed by 60 series locomotives 120.1 from 1987 for IC and EC services. Märklin/Trix, Roco and Piko offer H0 models of the 120 in all liveries.
BR 120 Liveries and Variants
Highly sought are the five pre-series locos 120 001-005 in original livery, the series Orientrot (Era IV), the Verkehrsrot DB AG livery and advertising locomotives such as "120 in Bonn" and special schemes like 120 159. Filter by manufacturer, era or DCC sound.
