Prototype information
The high quality class E 10.3 locomotives underwent several improvements and conversions over the years that also affected the external look of the locomotive. The buffers with streamlined cladding were replaced by complete buffer beams, and the characteristic bands of vents had to make way for new, more efficient vents. The original rain gutters were shortened, and the handrails on the ends were improved. The result was a locomotive that differed at first glance from its original appearance, but without betraying its typical characteristics. These timeless units are still in use today in commuter passenger service.
