In 1958 Belgian State Railway NMBS ordered 55 samples of four-axle diesel electric loco from manufacturer Cockerill-Sambre. The locos had been numbered for 201.001-055 (later 5901-5955). The BLW 8-608A motor is an American design and develops 1750 hp. The locos reached a maximum speed of 120 km/h and were used in passenger and freight service till 1988.
Different starting processes can be selected with F1: 1x press button = warm start / press button 2x = false start / press button 3x = cold more…
Only 15 examples of the Class 59 were built for various British freight companies. The construction logistics company Foster Yeoman took over one example in 1997 and had it converted for use in Germany. In 1999 HHPI took over the machine. Technically, the Class 59 with its 2500 kW EMD 16-cylinder 2-stroke diesel engine is a close relative of the US bestseller SD40-2. The maximum speed is 97 km/h, five locomotives are approved for 120 km/h. There is no train heating system on board.

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…
In order to be able to cope better with the steadily increasing flow of passengers and goods over the Gotthard after the Second World War, the Swiss Federal Railways SBB procured a total of 120 units of the six-axle electric locomotive Ae 6/6 from 1952. The locomotives, which were equipped with hollow-shaft drives, were fitted with the N 28 i high-voltage switchgear, which was state-of-the-art at the time and was also suitable for difficult hill climbs. The elegant locomotives were also fitted more…
Between 1981 and 1985 the Danish State Railways DSB purchased 37 units of the diesel-electric series ME from the consortium Henschel, BBC, Scandia. Due to the positive experience with American drive technology, the 2427 kW (at 900 rpm) 16-cylinder two-stroke engine 16-645 E3B from EMD was chosen as the diesel engine, which generates the energy for the six traction motors. With a top speed of 175 km/h, the six-axle vehicles equipped with push-pull and multiple traction control were initially more…
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…
Between 1967 and 1969 the Danish State Railways DSB purchased 10 units of the diesel-electric series MZ I, and in the following year 16 units of the type MZ II, which differ from the former only in a changed position of the battery box and the air reservoir. Traditional American engine technology works in the locomotive bodies manufactured by Frichs. The diesel engine chosen was the 2426 kW (at 900 rpm) 16-cylinder two-stroke engine 16-645 E3 from EMD, which generates the energy for the six more…

The Deutsche Bundesbahn DB commissioned the rail vehicle manufacturer Schöma with the further development of the Klv 50 and Klv 51 motor vehicles. The core requirement was the creation of an enlarged driver's cab as a lounge for the workers. In addition to Schöma, five other manufacturers took over the series production of a total of 824 units, which started in 1963. The three air-cooled Deutz engines delivered 77 (petrol engine), 116 and 150 hp (both diesel) and accelerated the two-axle more…
