what a mess!!!

If I get it right the OSE Br221s were returned to Germany in 2003.
Were they bought all of them by EBW? or by somebody else?
The truth is that in 2011 were some of them still waiting to be refurbished...

Works seems to have taken place at the Arriva Werke Nord GmbH which now is renamed to NETINERA, and belons to the Ferrovie dello Stato Group

Together with the blue lettering for the Alsthom, i have planned to make letterings for A 411 (different paint scheme) and A 427.

Rentis, 3. October 1996:

But until today, i can`t find pictures with readable side-lettering of the prototype. Can anybody help?

[TEE1055]

10 of the former OSE "Ufos" are refurbished in Neustrelitz and equipped mainly with new diesel motors. These locomotives are sold to various private operators in Germany. See http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/DB-Baureihe_V_200.1 under "Verbleib".
The rest are scraped exept the 221 112 (OSE 421), because of the poor condition and the changement of the management policy at the works of Neustrelitz. Many spare parts are keept for the existing locomotives.

Johannes, I don't know if anybody else has helped you with your request.
I don't have any photos of mine, actually I've never even seen a UFO when they were down here...
I'll have a look if I have any photo at the downloaded ones.
