SNCB NMBS HLD 51 
H0
The Belgian State Railways SNCB developed the 200 series from the proven diesel-electric 201 series from 1961. The manufacturer Cockerill installed the in licence Baldwin build eight-cylinder engine 608A in the 93 locomotives that were later listed as HLD 51, which developed 1450 kW at 625 rpm and enabled a top speed of 120 km /h. The most powerful Belgian mainline diesel locomotive at the time was initially used in front of passenger and freight trains. The passenger trains were heated by a more…
BR 704 H0
In 1977, based on the VT 627, the German Deutsche Bundesbahn DB ordered five test vehicles of the four-axle catenary inspection rail car 704. The four-axle vehicles, classed as BR 704, had a diesel-hydraulic power transmission. Propulsion was initially provided by two identical, independent drive systems with Deutz twelve-cylinder diesel engines, one of which was replaced by a more modern and lower-emission Deutz engine from 1986 onwards. The 140 km/h four-axle vehicles were intended to replace more…
Vossloh DE18 H0
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…
Köf II (Kaelble GN 130 S) H0
After the Second World War, the DB needed more small diesel locomotives of Leistungsgruppe II. To standardize the stock, the DB only allowed Deutz and, from 1954, Kaelble as engine manufacturers. DB was already familiar with the tried and tested water-cooled Kaelble GN 130 s diesel engine from its road tractors. From 1963, the 107 to 128 hp six-cylinder was used as an exchange engine in other Köf Iis also. The motor was only available in combination with Voith fluid drives and compressed air more…
VT18.16 / BR175 DR H0
In 1959, the GDR government decided to develop a four-car diesel-hydraulic multiple unit capable of 160 km/h for international express service. A total of twelve diesel multiple units were built at the Görlitz factory, designated VT 18.16 in keeping with their approximately 1,800 hp output and top speed of 160 km/h. The 12-cylinder 12 KVD 18/21 SVW engines, mounted above the power bogies of the motor cars, were rated at 660 kW on trains VT 18.16.01 and 02; the second engine upgrade, available more…
DB BR 628.0 (Deutz) H0
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 BR 627.0 H0
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…
Class 350 H0
Siemens developed four-car electric multiple units known as Class 350 on the Desiro platform. The vehicles, which were purchased from 2004 onwards, have an output of 1500 kW and can be powered either by the direct current rail next to the track or by the 25 kV overhead line. The top speed of the first two series is 180 km/h, while series 3 and 4 are approved for 160 km/h.

FS E.428 H0
Starting in 1934, the Italian State Railways (FS) purchased a total of 242 E.428s for express train service on the direct-current electrified regional lines. Eight paired motors powered the four driving axles, producing a combined output of 2,800 kW. Two leading bogies reduced the axle load of the 135-ton, 130 km/h locomotives. The three series differ significantly in the driver's cab area. By 1989 the last machines were retired.

Class 450 H0
Siemens developed four-car electric multiple units called Class 450 on the Desiro platform. The vehicles, which were purchased from 2001 onwards, have an output of 1500 kW and draw their operating voltage from the side power rail next to the track. The maximum speed of the 127 vehicles is 160 km/h. The four-car units are used on London's busy suburban routes.
