BR Class 10 N XL L M4

The BR Class 10 was a British diesel locomotive developed by British Railways in the 1950s. A total of 26 locomotives were built between 1958 and 1961. They were based largely on the successful BR Class 8, but were fitted with a more powerful engine.

The locomotives were mainly used for freight services and heavy shunting duties. With an output of around 1,750 horsepower, they were quite powerful for their time. Despite their robust design, the Class 10 locomotives had relatively short more…

RhB Ge 6/6 I Krokodil N XL L M4

The Ge 6/6 I of the Rhetian Railways (RhB) of Switzerland are nick named rhetian crocodiles. 1922 the first of 15 locos entered service. The side rod equipped Ge 6/6 had been the strongest narrow gauge loco of its time and delivered 1024 HP. With its maximum speed of 55 km/h the locos were even used for famous Glacier Express. Today two locos are kept for traction of museum trains.

BR Class 02 N XL L M4

Starting in 1960, British Railways (BR) acquired a small batch of twenty Class 02 two-axle shunting locomotives for use in yards with tight curves. Although perfectly suited to their operational environment—thanks to a short wheelbase, a 170 hp Rolls-Royce 6-cylinder diesel engine, and hydraulic transmission—the first of these locomotives (capable of speeds up to 30 km/h) were withdrawn after less than ten years of service, and the last after just fifteen, as their operational roles in docks, more…

V36/V36.4 WR360 C 14 / MWM N XL L M4

From 1938 onwards, the German Wehrmacht procured several series of the three-axle WR 360 C 14 diesel locomotive in a largely standardized configuration for shunting operations within military installations. Many locomotives were equipped with the 360 ​​hp MWM six-cylinder four-stroke RHS 235 S engine. These diesel-hydraulic locomotives reached a top speed of 60 km/h at a maximum engine speed of 700 rpm. After the Second World War, the DB (German Federal Railway) and DR (German State Railway) more…

BR 247 Vectron DE N XL L M4

Based on the Vectron electric locomotives, Siemens introduced a diesel-electric variant in 2014, featuring an overall length one meter greater than that of the electric models. In the Vectron DE, the 2,400 kW MTU 16V 4000 R84 diesel engine generates the power for the four electric traction motors. Designed for use with freight and express trains, this four-axle locomotive reaches a top speed of 160 km/h.




Although the electric Vectron family became highly successful throughout Europe, more…

BR 248 Vectron Dual Mode N XL L M4

German Siemens company developed a dual mode version of electric loco Vectron. This locos immatriculated as BR 248 can operate under 15 kV catanery as well as powered by 16 cylinder diesel motor MTU 16V 4000 R84 with 2400 kW. Tractive power of 300 kN and the maximum speed of 160 km/h is available in both operations.



It was developed primarily for freight transport and quickly attracted interest from private railway companies. Press F1 to select different starting modes: Press the button once more…

V36/V36.4 WR360 C 14 / Deutz N XL L M4

From 1938 onwards, the German Wehrmacht procured several series of the three-axle WR 360 C 14 diesel locomotive in a largely standardized configuration for shunting operations in military installations. Many locomotives were equipped with the 360 hp Deutz V6M 436 six-cylinder engine. These diesel-hydraulic locomotives reached a top speed of 55 km/h at a maximum engine speed of 700 rpm. After World War II, the DB (German Federal Railway) and DR (German State Railway) refurbished many of the more…

BR420 / ET420 N XL L M4

Since the three-car Class 420 S-Bahn multiple units were introduced for the 1972 Munich Olympic Games, they are often referred to as the "Olympic multiple units." With their thyristor-controlled traction control, Deutsche Bahn (DB) was breaking new ground at the time. Because the 2400 kW of power was distributed across all twelve axles, the three-car units, equipped with axle-hung traction motors, exhibited excellent acceleration. The three prototypes were followed by eight production series, more…

BR 66 DB N XL L M4

The Class 66 belonged to the German Federal Railway's (DB) new steam locomotive program and was intended to replace the Class 64 and 78 locomotives. Despite its successful design, the DB commissioned Henschel to build only two examples in 1955. These two-cylinder locomotives, producing 1170 hp and capable of 100 km/h forward and reverse, boasted good running characteristics at higher speeds, a high-performance boiler system, and were optimized for economical operation. Nevertheless, series more…

SBB RBe4/4 / RBe540 N XL L M4

To replace locomotive-hauled express trains, the Swiss Federal Railways (SBB) procured six pre-production models of the RBe 4/4 electric multiple unit in 1959. The somewhat rough-shifting tap changer earned the four-axle units the nickname "shaker cups." The 76 production units built from 1963 onwards were equipped with a command-line control system, which enabled smoother switching operations. Since the specifications required the transport of at least three cars, the four traction motors more…
