DB BR 627.0 N XL L M4

As a successor to the now aging VT98 railbuses, Deutsche Bundesbahn (DB) commissioned the development of the single-car 627 for lightly frequented routes starting in 1970. The two-car 628 was intended to replace three- or four-car VT98s. Delivery of the 627 pre-production vehicles began in 1974. Five cars were powered by 287 kW air-cooled Deutz BF 12 L 413 F engines, and three additional cars were equipped with a 294 kW water-cooled Daimler-Benz OM 404 engine. The top speed of 120 km/h also more…

DB BR 628.0 (Deutz) N XL L M4

As a successor to the now aging railbuses VT98, Deutsche Bundesbahn (DB) commissioned the development of the single-car 627 for lightly frequented routes starting in 1970. The two-car 628 was intended to replace the three- or four-car VT98. Delivery of the first pre-production vehicles of both types began in 1974. The 628.0 was powered by air-cooled Deutz F 12 L 413 F engines and the water-cooled underfloor MAN D 3256 BTXU diesel, proven in truck construction. Four additional 628.0s were fitted more…

DB BR101 N XL L M4

In 1994 DB AG had ordered 145 total new four-axle electric loco for fast passenger service. The 6400 HP locos had been delivered between 1996 and 1999 and reach a maximum speed of 220 km/h. DB uses the locos also in freight service in the nights.

DB BR185.2 Traxx F140 AC2 N XL L M4

Bombardier developed the second 185 generation from the 185.1, which goes back to the original Traxx 145. The acoustic difference is mainly due to the modified converter system. The locomotives have an output of 5600 kW and reach a top speed of 140 km/h. Bombardier delivered an impressive 145 of the 393 units built internally as the F140 AC2 to leasing companies and private railways.

DB BR185.2 Traxx F140 MS2 N XL L M4

Apart from the modified crash-optimized locomotive body, the second 185 generation can be distinguished from the first generation by a different noise development. The acoustically striking difference is mainly due to the modified AC converter system. The tripod bearing drive was also retained on the two-system locomotive internally designated as the F140 MS2. Under AC conditions, the four-axle vehicles deliver 5,600 kW and reach a top speed of 140 km/h. Under DC contact lines, the power is more…

DB BR420 N XL L M4

Since the three-car S-Bahn railcars were introduced for the 1972 Olympic Games in Munich, the ET420 are often referred to as Olympic railcars. With the thyristor cut control, DB was breaking new technical ground at the time. Since the power of 2400 kW was transmitted to all twelve axles, the 420 equipped with a suspension drive showed very good acceleration. The three prototypes were followed by eight series, in which minor changes were incorporated. The last two series had swivel sliding more…

DE2500/BR202 DB (Henschel) N XL L M4

The DB Class 202, also commonly referred to under its manufacturers' designation Henschel-BBC DE2500, since it was only in experimental use and never purchased by the DB, is a class of diesel-electric locomotives designed for use on main and secondary lines for both passenger and freight trains.

DE2500/BR202 DB (MAN) N XL L M4

The DB Class 202, also commonly referred to under its manufacturers' designation Henschel-BBC DE2500, since it was only in experimental use and never purchased by the DB, is a class of diesel-electric locomotives designed for use on main and secondary lines for both passenger and freight trains.

DE2700/ Di6/ ME26 N XL L M4

Based on the diesel-electric series DE 1024 with three-phase power transmission, MaK and Siemens developed the Di6 for the Norwegian State Railways NSB. 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 top speed of 160 km/h was also to be used in heavy passenger train service, it was fitted with a train heating system. The twelve locomotives had various problems, two locomotives burned out. After more…
