The '''DRG Class E&nbsp;16''' were German [[electric locomotive]]s in service with the [[Bavarian Group Administration]] of the [[Deutsche Reichsbahn-Gesellschaft|Deutsche Reichsbahn]], and were conceived as motive power for express trains. They were initially designated as the '''Bavarian Class ES&nbsp;1''', before being incorporated into the DRG numbering plan as '''E&nbsp;16'''.

==History==
The first series (E&nbsp;16&nbsp;01 to E&nbsp;16&nbsp;10) was delivered in 1926, the second (E&nbsp;16&nbsp;11 to E&nbsp;16&nbsp;17) in 1927. The third, re-worked series (E&nbsp;16&nbsp;18 to E&nbsp;16&nbsp;21) was transferred to the Deutsche Reichsbahn in 1932 and 1933.

Numbers E&nbsp;16&nbsp;11 and E&nbsp;16&nbsp;13 were lost in the [[Second World War]], E 16&nbsp;12 was retired in 1967 after an accident. With the introduction of the [[Locomotive classification of the Deutsche Bundesbahn|DB classification system]] on 1 January 1968, the remaining 18 Class E&nbsp;16 engines were regrouped into '''Class 116'''. Between 1973 and 1980 the engines were gradually withdrawn from service. On 31 January 1980, the last '''Class 116''' locomotive, number 116&nbsp;009, was finally retired.

==Design==
One technical feature is the [[Buchli drive]], in which the motors drive the driving wheels on one side only via outside gears; the other side is not driven. As a result, an E&nbsp;16 has an asymmetric appearance. On one side you can see the Buchli drive, on the other just the bare spoked wheels. The E&nbsp;16 is the only German locomotive class with Buchli drives.

The [[Brown, Boveri & Cie|Brown, Boveri Cie (BBC)]] was responsible for the designs.

==Preserved locomotives==
