If I'm not mistaken, the name "Bastard" is not due to the loco's two system ability, but rather due to the usage of older rheostatic controls from the 60s, compared to the thyristor control of the other models of the family from Skoda - like the preceding and successful 363. DR didn't want them no thyristors for some reason (officially due to weight concerns). The 372s were more than a bit outdated because of that, and unnecessarily so, hence the Bastard nickname.

Thanks for the model nonetheless, can't wait to try it! The similar 363s and 163s were quite common where I live up until some five years ago (I even rode on one!). The RegioPanters and RegioSharks pushed them out of passenger service and the Cargo lines around here are handled by different locos... piece of my childhood gone...
