To my memory, the class 141 started out with an electric steam boiler for passenger train heat, which was later changed to electric heat. The class 141 saw many changes and updates in her service life, as well as number of "face lifts", which made here look rather sad at the end of her life. She was intended to be a multi-purpose engine, also pulling express trains, hence the initial blue livery. When the speed  of express trains was lifted to a minimum of 140 kph in 1962, she was back to regular passenger trains, commuter trains and shorter freight trains. Subsequently, the livery was changed to green. The last engine was taken out of service in 2006 - I never took a ohoto of one!
