The first time I met the V160 familie was the daily freight train
that came through franeker (see Freighttrains in Franeker). Later on I saw
the 218's in Arnhem where the trains from Amsterdam to Köln
would change traction. The first model I bought was the Roco 215
(catno. 4155B) around 1984. Over time the collection grew.

This particular model is special. The shell is from the
first series (Roco 4155A), which didn't have flush windows etc.
The other parts are from a later release (Roco 43417) which had
a broken body shell. I moved the flush windows etc to the 'old'
shell.

Röwa introduced a very nice model of the 216 in the 1970's. It had very nice detailing, especially
for its time. Röwa stopped in 1975 and most of its models continued with Roco. Unfortunately this
216 didn't because Roco had already a 215 of its own.
