BR119 DR - 12KVD  LokSound 5 European Sound files N XL L M4

The BR 119 (since 1990 BR 219) had been developed by Rumanian manufacturer „Lokomotivfabrik 23. August“ Bukarest as two motor diesel locomotive for the GDR state railway DR . The two traction motors delivered 1350 HP at 1500 rpm each and enabled the loco to reach a maximum speed of 120 km/h. For the use also on branch lines the six axle loco has a load per axle of 16 tons only. As the motors had been unreliable, the DR interchanged them with turbo charged 12 KVD motors of V180/BR 118 in the more…

MaK DE 1002 (MWM-TBD-604B)  LokSound 5 European Sound files N XL L M4

Diesel electric loco DE 1002 of German manufacturer MaK is a reliable design for medium freight service of private owners. The 12-cylinder diesel prime mover develops 1120 or 1320 kW at 1800 rpm and enables the DE 1002 to reach a maximum speed of 90 km/h. The 24 locos are delivered between 1982 and 1988.

The 12-cylinder diesel prime mover develops 1120 or 1320 kW at 1800 rpm and enables the DE 1002 to reach a maximum speed of 90 km/h. The 24 locos are delivered between 1982 and 1988.

FS D.145  LokSound 5 European Sound files N XL L M4

For heavy shunting and regional freight service Italian State Railway FS received 100 samples of diesel electric loco D.145 between 1982 and 1995. The Iveco diesel engine develops 825 kW and enables the locos to reach a maximum speed of 100 km/h.

ÖBB 5047  LokSound 5 European Sound files N XL L M4

From 1987, the Austrian Federal Railways (ÖBB) purchased 100 units of the diesel-hydraulic railcar 5047. The one-piece vehicle manufactured by the Jenbacher works is based on the German 627, but the MTU twelve-cylinder engine 12V183TC12 has a significantly higher output of 419 kW thanks to charge air cooling. The maximum speed is 120 km/h.

Köf III  LokSound 5 European Sound files N XL L M4

In order to rationalize shunting operations at larger stations, the Zentralamt of German DB developed a two-axle diesel locomotive with hydrodynamic transmission together with the locomotive manufacturer Gmeinder. The first 300 copies still had a power transmission with chains, the others had a cardan shaft drive. The proven 240 hp RHS 518 from MWM was used as the engine for the series locomotives. The pre-series locomotives later classified as class 331 initially had to be content with a more…

CSD T669.0/ ZSR/ZSSK Rh770  LokSound 5 European Sound files N XL L M4

In 1963 the Soviet State Railways ordered a six-axle diesel locomotive with a central driver's cab based on American design principles in the Czech Republic. These had proven themselves in the Alco-RSD1 delivered to the USSR in World War II. The Czech State Railways CKD had the T669.0 derived from the Czech locomotive type supplied to the USSR (referred to as the 770 series from 1988) and purchased 110 units. The charged six-cylinder diesel engine CKD K 6s 310 DR developed 994 kW at 750 rpm and more…

DSB MZ III  LokSound 5 European Sound files N XL L M4

Due to increased train loads, the Danish State Railways DSB purchased a total of 20 units of the diesel-electric MZ III series between 1972 and 74. The diesel engine chosen was the 2867 kW (at 900 rpm) 20-cylinder two-stroke engine 20-645 E3 from EMD, which generates the energy for the six traction motors manufactured in Denmark. With a top speed of 165 km/h, the six-axle vehicles were mainly used in front of passenger trains, for which they initially had steam heating. From 1978 an electric more…

MaK DE1024  LokSound 5 European Sound files N XL L M4

In 1989, MaK (vehicle part) and ABB (electrical part) developed the DE 1024 diesel-electric series with three-phase power transmission for demonstration purposes. The MaK 12M282 diesel engine developed 2650 kW at 1000 rpm and generated the power for the six traction motors. Since the locomotive with its maximum speed of 160 km/h was also to be used in heavy passenger train service, it was fitted with a train heating system. The Deutsche Bundesbahn DB rented the three prototypes on a long-term more…

BR Class 40  LokSound 5 European Sound files N XL L M4

Between 1958 and 1962, the British State Railways BR 200 had diesel-electric Class 40s built for heavy-duty express train service. The 16-cylinder diesel engine delivered 2000 HP and generated the energy for the six DC motors, which accelerated the 136-ton locomotive to 140 km/h. The high weight made two running axles necessary, which were combined with three driving axles to form a bogie. With the introduction of the high-speed trains in the late 1970s, the star of the Class 40 sank and so in more…
