V200.0 N XL L M4

In early 1950s young German Federal Railway (DB) introduced four axle two motor dieselhydraulic V200. The loco is powered by two 12 cylinder 1100 HP diesel made by Daimler-Benz, MAN or mostly a MD650 made by Maybach. For use in passenger service all locos received steam heating equipment by Hagenuk. With its maximum speed of 140 km/h the locos were used for multi purpose. After around 30 years DB discharged the locos. 13 locos went to Italian users, seven were sold to swiss SBB for traction of more…

V200.1 N XL L M4

Following the twin-engine V200.0, built from 1956 onwards, the DB developed the single-engine V100 with the same engines. The latter also tested a more powerful Mercedes MB 835 Ab engine. Since the V200.0 lacked the power reserves for heavy trains, and the already planned V160s were too weak and the V320s too powerful, Krauss-Maffei was commissioned to further develop the V200 with the more powerful engines. In 1962, the first of the twin-engine diesel-hydraulic V200.1s (designated BR 221 from more…

V36 Doppeltes Lottchen / MWM N XL L M4

In 1938 German „Wehrmacht“ received first samples of three-axle shunting locos for service in military facilities. The units were powered by six-cylinder diesel MWM RHS235S or KHD V6M436. The side rod equipped locos reached a maximum speed of 55 km/h at 700 rpm. For traction of heavy trains all locos were equipped with a double-unit-control. For those consists two units were coupled back-to-back and the throttles were connected by shaft. After WW II both German state railways overtook several more…

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 German federal state railway (DB) purchased ten samples of the class V80 diesel locomotive with hydraulic drivetrain in 1952. The four axle diesel for light branch and main line service were equipped with one diesel motor of Mercedes Benz, MAN or Maybach that delivered between 800 and 1000 HP. The motors had been interchangeable also between rail diesel cars VT 08, VT 11.5 and the famous V200 class. In the 1960s the V80 got a MTU MB 12 V 493 TZ diesel that had been used also in V100 class. 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…
