This model is a 1/87th scale replica of a Sersa AG Am 847 957 (formerly DB 211 215) diesel locomotive. It is offered by Roco as part number 52566.
The DB 211 215 class designates a group of diesel locomotives used by Deutsche Bahn (DB) in Germany. These locomotives are part of the V 100 series, which was a series of diesel-electric locomotives built in the 1960s by the German company MaK (Maschinenbau Kiel). They were mainly used for transporting goods and for shunting in stations. When the Swiss company Sersa AG acquired several examples of this German diesel locomotive, it renamed them Am 847 957 "Lotti". Sersa AG is a company specialising in railway infrastructure works and track maintenance. Founded in 1928, it has become one of Switzerland's leading players in this sector.
