Built in the Soviet Union at the Voroshilovgrad\/Luhansk Locomotive Works, these powerful machines were developed to handle heavy freight and mixed traffic. Nicknamed “Ludmilla” by crews, the family became one of the most numerous and recognisable diesels in German service.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe first subtype, Class 130, entered service in 1970 with gearing for 140 km\/h, but most were later limited to 100 km\/h due to operational needs. A related version with a lower top speed and higher tractive effort was designated Class 131 for freight duty. The main production variant was the Class 132, featuring electric train heating and a top speed of 120 km\/h, making it suitable for heavy freight and occasional passenger trains. Around 700 units of Class 132 were built, forming the backbone of DR diesel services through the 1970s and 1980s.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAfter German reunification, surviving locomotives passed to Deutsche Bahn AG and were renumbered as Class 230\/231\/232 and later variants such as 233 and 234 following upgrades. Many continued in heavy freight service across Germany and neighbouring countries into the 21st century. For model railway enthusiasts, the Ludmilla family offers a dramatic and versatile prototype for Era IV German freight layouts, with powerful performance and a distinctive Eastern Bloc aesthetic.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eZ21 START NewGen\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eFeatures:\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eControls up to 9,999 DCC locomotive decoders\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eControls up to 2,048 DCC turnout decoders\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRailCom receiver\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eConnections:\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eX-BUS\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUSB-C\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Details:\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInput voltage: 12–24 V\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOutput voltage corresponds to 1 V below input voltage\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOutput current: max. 3 A\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAnalog locomotives: Not controllable\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaximum number of trains: 100 vehicles simultaneously\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDCC locomotive decoders\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"tel:14\/28\/128\"\u003e14\/28\/128\u003c\/a\u003e speed steps\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eF0 to F31\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePOM read \u0026amp; write\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMain track and programming track are on one output with the Z21 START newGen, as known from z21start.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFeatures\/Contents\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1 x BR232 Locomotive\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e3 x Wagons\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRoco Z21 (Base and Maus) Controller with UK Power Pack\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1:120 Scale Model\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDCC Fitted\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTrack Included\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBest suited for Epoch IV model railways\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eZ21 START newGen\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1 x Z21 multiMAUS\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1 x Power Supply Unit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePlease note :\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003eThe price shown is the price you pay at checkout \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003eColours may look slightly different than sample picture illustration \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003eAll stock levels are approx \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003eNo items will be sent or readied for collection until a payment is completed \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Swansea Model Trains","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53335624253776,"sku":null,"price":199.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0883\/8230\/8688\/files\/79D2F96F-A16C-4436-9C2A-8ADBB077AB5F.jpg?v=1785444739","url":"https:\/\/www.swanseamodeltrains.co.uk\/products\/roco-5190003-dr-br232-diesel-freight-train-set-v-dcc-fitted","provider":"Swansea Model Trains ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
