DB wanted to get rid of the grey with orange pattern on 111 111-188, but not all Bws seemed to get the message. The crew that handled DB 111 175 were told "no more orange Belly, but all Traffic Red" -which the workshops of FF1 decided to interpret as the order to paint only the belly band Traffic Red instead of the whole loco! Db 111 175 proudly shows its defiance at Frankfurt (Main) Hbf on 28 July 2000 Scanned photo by Leon Schrijvers Leon2711schrijvers@yahoo.co.uk
