Henschel-BBC DE2500

The Henschel-BBC DE2500 (Or The DB Class 202), was utilized solely for experimental purposes and was never acquired by Deutsche Bahn. This class of
diesel-electric locomotives was engineered for operation on both main and secondary lines, serving both passenger and freight services.
One unit underwent conversion for 1.5 kV DC operation under electric catenary and was subsequently evaluated by Nederlandse Spoorwegen, designated as NS Class 1600P.
==DB 202-002==
The DB 202-002 was the first version made and also first built. A model is being displayed at an German museum.
===Conversion to Electric===
In the mid-70s, locomotive 202-002 underwent a conversion for the Dutch Railways (NS), transforming it into an all-electric locomotive designed for 1.5 kV DC overhead wire operation. The locomotive was adorned with the distinctive Dutch yellow livery, assigned the designation 1600P, and featured the logos of the Dutch railways. A pantograph was installed to facilitate current collection from the overhead wire, while the diesel engine and generator were removed and replaced with ballast. The NS expressed satisfaction with the outcomes of the testing phases; however, they ultimately decided to procure their serial-production Class 1600 from French manufacturers, modeled after the BB 7200, due to considerations related to budget and delivery timelines.
==DB 202-003-0==
DB 202-003-0 (Or UMAN) is a locomotive that was Streamlined by the company called Heris. The locomotive ws used to test UMAN-Umkoppelbare Antriebsmasse.
===Possible past===
A Website has a locomotive that has 202-003-0 the same one to the locomotive
==DB 202-004-8==
The DB 202-004-8 was used in a cyan like livery. Built Somewhere around 1981 to 84
