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 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…
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…
BR 99.51-60 / Sächsische IV H0
Between 1892 and 1921, the Saxon State Railway acquired a total of 96 examples of the IV k articulated locomotive in several series for its 750 mm narrow-gauge lines. Fifty-seven examples were transferred to the German Reichsbahn (DR) after the Second World War. High-pressure and low-pressure engines were each housed in a separate bogie and accelerated the articulated locomotive to 30 km/h. In 1970, 33 examples of the series, now known as the 99.51-60, were still in the DR fleet; DB AG acquired more…
DE2500/BR202 DB (MAN) H0
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 (Henschel) H0
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.
ÖBB 2048 H0
In 1991, the Austrian government decided to improve the passenger service on branch lines. The Austrian Federal Railways (ÖBB) were unable to meet the increased demand for locomotives, which is why they were able to quickly purchase 15 examples of BR 211s that were no longer needed by the DB in order to free up ÖBB locomotives for passenger trains. The worn-out MTU diesel engines needed to be replaced, while the Voith transmissions, which were considered to be reliable, were retained in some more…
Universal Schmalspur H0
Most narrow-gauge railways were built and, at least initially, operated by private companies. The state railways usually coded the track gauge in the class designation, and sometimes also the wheel arrangement. The operating number was generally assigned consecutively. With the integration of many railways into the Deutsche Reichsbahn-Gesellschaft (DRG), the class designations, which consisted of letters and numbers (e.g., Tssd, IV k, or Gts 2x 3/3), were standardized and only numbers were more…
BR219 / V169 H0
In 1965 German DB ordered the first diesel hydraulic locomotive with additional gas turbine power. The V169 001 delivered 3200 HP and reached a maximum speed of 130 km/h. The gas turbine worked automatically when the engineer activated the booster notch while the diesel motor works in (highest) notch 15. In 1974 after around 9 years in heavy passenger service the now called 219 001 had a defective gas turbine so DB dismounted this booster and used the loco for 3 additional years.
