V36/V36.4 WR 360 C 14 / MWM N XL L M4

In 1938 German „Wehrmacht“ received first samples of three-axle shunting locos for service in military facilities. Most units were powered by six-cylinder diesel MWM RHS235S. The side rod equipped locos reached a maximum speed of 55 km/h at 700 rpm. After WW II both German state railways overtook several units, some were sold at private owners.

V60 DR N XL L M4

The side rod equipped dieselhydraulic V60 (1968 BR 104 – 106, since 1992 BR 344 – 347) had been developed by VEB Lokomotivbau „Karl Marx“ for GDR state railway DR . The traction motors delivered 650 HP at 1500 rpm and enabled the loco to reach a maximum speed of 60 km/h. The non-turbocharged engine 12 KVD 21 SVW is quite similar to the motor of V180/V100.

V80 N XL L M4

The V80, procured in ten units starting in 1952, was the prototype of all diesel-hydraulic mainline diesel locomotives of the German Federal Railway (DB). These 100 km/h locomotives were intended for light mainline service and heavy shunting and served as testbeds for hydrodynamic transmissions, cardan shaft drives, and diesel engines. The results of these trials contributed to the development of the V100, V200, and V160 series. The diesel engines used were either two 800 hp engines from more…

V90 (MTU-12V-652) N XL L M4

In the 1960s the German State Railway (DB) replaced old fashioned steam locos in heavy shunting service. The total new dieselhydraulic V90 is driven by a 12 cyl engine MTU MB 12 V 652 TA that delivers 1100 HP at 1400 rpm. The locos have a maximum speed of 80 km/h. In the 1980s DB installed shunting couplers and a radio control in the now called BR 290 and renumbered them in BR 294. Many of the very dependable locos are still in service.

Vossloh DE18 N XL L M4

Since 2010, Vossloh has been offering the diesel-electric G18 for heavy-duty shunting and medium-duty road freight service. The 12-cylinder MTU 12V 4000 R diesel engine delivers 1800 kW at 1800 rpm and generates the energy for the four traction motors that accelerate the locomotive to 120 km/h. So far, 140 examples of the four-axle locomotives with the center driver's cab are rolling in Belgium, Germany, France and Luxembourg. The DE 18 are particularly environmentally friendly as SmartHybrids, more…

Vossloh Euro 4000 N XL L M4

For spanish Comsa Rail and various private european railway companies, Alstom (later Vossloh Spain, today Stadler Rail) developed the six-axle EURO4000 main line diesel locomotive in close cooperation with the US manufacturer EMD from 2005 onwards. The 16-cylinder two-stroke diesel engine EMD 16-710 G3C-U2, which supplies the six electric traction motors with energy, has an output of 3178 kW at 950 RPM and, depending on the transmission, enables a top speed of up to 160 km/h. There are more…

Vossloh G1700-2 BB N XL L M4

Starting in 2002, Vossloh developed the four-axle diesel-hydraulic G1700-2 BB for heavy shunting and medium-duty freight train service. The Caterpillar 3512B diesel engine was customized to deliver 1700 kW at 1800 rpm. The transmission came from the more powerful G2000 with only two converters and a mechanical shift stage. With a top speed of 100 km/h, the owners of the four-axle locomotives are also happy to use the locomotives for main line service. Vossloh was able to sell 31 copies in more…

VT 11.5 N XL L M4

For the international TEE service, launched in 1956, the German Federal Railway (DB) procured a total of 19 power cars starting in 1957. Between each pair of power cars, five intermediate cars were coupled together. In addition to compartment and open-plan seating cars, there was also one car with a kitchen and dining area and one with a dining area and bar. Scharfenberg couplers connected the cars. Each power car was driven by a 12-cylinder, four-stroke diesel engine. As in the technically more…

VT 36.5 N XL L M4

The former Deutsche Reichsbahn-Gesellschaft (DRG) ordered 50 hydraulic foru axle diesel railcars numbered as VT 137 241-270 and VT 137 442-461. The MAN diesel motors delivered 360 HP at 870 rpm and reached a maximum speed of 100 km/h. After WWII 16 railcars went to DB, seven were owned by DR.
