Manufacturer MaK had introduced its successful four axle freight locomotive in 1997. Till 2012 170 samples of the loco had been produced by MaK and its follower Vossloh. The diesel motor delivers around 1500 kW at 1800 rpm and reaches a maximum speed of 60 -100 km/h depending on gearing.
German MAN developed a 2 axle Diesel railcar in 1955. The car was delivered with one or two MAN diesel engines. Single engine cars and developed 150 to 180 HP, double engine cars developed 300 up to 400 HP. Many customers ordered the railcars with two motors to pull freight cars on branch lines. Maximum speed was between 70 and 90 km/h depending on gearing.
Please note: With CV 168, the motor sequence can be changed from two to one drive motor.
Twin engine: CV 168 = 0 (default)

After the Second World War, various European locomotive manufacturers began developing diesel-electric locomotives, which began to displace steam traction in the USA. In Sweden, Nydqvist and Holm AB (NoHAB) acquired the license to manufacture diesel locomotives for the Electro-Motive Division (EMD) in 1949. The Americans owned an export version of the F-series with 2-stroke-diesel, which had a driver's cab at both ends. For the lighter superstructure in Europe, locos were equipped with six more…
Class 6400 of Nederlandse Spoorwegen (NS) had been delivered by German Maschinenbau Kiel (MaK) from 1988 till 1994. The 120 locos develop 1180 kW at 1800 rpm and reach a maximum speed of 120 km/h. From 2007 till 2011 the four axle locos had been also used for cross border service to Germany.
Between 1956 and 1962 Orenstein & Koppel (O&K) had built 22 two axle locos for switching service in industrial plants. The hydraulic driven locos have a 12 cylinder Diesel motor with 200 HP and reach a maximum speed of 30 km/h. Some locos had been sold to foreign users, bust some are still in service for their owner since more than 50 years.
Austrian State Railways ÖBB was first Siemens customer for diesel-electric mainline diesel loco Eurorunner ER 20. Between 2002 and 2011 manufacturer delievered 181 samples to ÖBB and several european private owners. The MTU 16 V 4000 R41 develops 2000 kW and enables the loco to reach a maximum speed of 140 km/h.
F5 enables the heavy load mode: The diesel notch is always one up compared with normal operation. If you want to jump two notches, simply set CV 104 to 170 (instead of 150).

In 1958 and 1962 Austrian ÖBB received 18 samples of EMD-licensed version of Class G12 built by German manufacturer Henschel. The 12 cylinder 2-stroke diesel electric loco delivers 1520 HP at 835 RPM. ÖBB had used the four axle locos for freight and passenger service till 2004.
Different starting processes can be selected with F1: 1x press button = warm start / press button 2x = false start / press button 3x = cold start

At the beginning of the 2000s, the Austrian Federal Railways ÖBB ordered 90 class 2070 shunting locomotives, nick-named Hector, from German Vossloh. The 12-cylinder diesel engine from Caterpillar develop 738 kW at 2100 rpm. The top speed is 100 km/h. These locomotives, which MaK calls Type G 800 BB, form the basis of the fourth type of the manufacturer. The locomotives are used in heavy shunting operations and pull regional freight trains.
From 1987, the Austrian Federal Railways (ÖBB) purchased 100 units of the diesel-hydraulic railcar 5047. The one-piece vehicle manufactured by the Jenbacher works is based on the German 627, but the MTU twelve-cylinder engine 12V183TC12 has a significantly higher output of 419 kW thanks to charge air cooling. The maximum speed is 120 km/h.
