This is a new series of posts. In the coming months, our design department will release many new designs, which we will present to you in the ‘New Design’ series.
This is locomotive 145 088, an Adtranz locomotive from the year 2000. For Flex Bahndienstleistungen of Germany, Railcolor and OnTrack gave the machine a design from the “Network Veins” series.

About the locomotive
145 088 is relatively new in Flex’s fleet, which acquired it from SRI last year. After serving other owners in Switzerland and Germany, it became a leased locomotive of SRI Railinvest in 2014, just like its sister loco 145 087. This is Railcolor Design locomotive no. 198, and it was released from the Leipzig LEG workshops on 29.02.2024.
