BR62 DRG/DB/DR  LokSound 5 European Sound files N XL L M4

The class 62 express tank locomotive was part of the standard locomotive program of the German Reichsbahn-Gesellschaft (DRG). The 1,680 hp two-cylinder locomotive was designed for service on short main routes where the idea was to avoid turning the locomotives in the terminal stations in favor of short turnaround times. The drive wheel diameter of 1750 mm was a good compromise for good acceleration and a top speed of 100 km/h. During the DRG era, the 15 locomotives proved their worth, for more…

From 1961 the La Brugeoise et Nivelles plant delivered 136 units of the diesel-electric class 212 (from 1971 HLD 62) to the Belgian State Railways SNCB. General Motors supplied the 1030 kW twelve-cylinder diesel engine GM 12-567C. With a top speed of 120 km/h, the locomotives could be used for passenger and freight service. In 2003 the retirement was completed.

With its maximum speed of 96 km/h the locos also succeeded in freight service on main lines. Railway men nicknamed the class Yayas. The 6 cylinder 606 NA prime mover developed 660 HP at 625 rpm.

V162 / BR 217 DB  LokSound 5 European Sound files N XL L M4

Even during the series production of the V160, the German Federal Railroad DB was considering heating trains on non-electrified lines electrically instead of with steam, as was previously the case. In order not to have to divert power for the operation of the generator from the main diesel engine MTU MB 16 V 652 TB (1900 HP) taken over from the V160, it was decided to use the 12-cylinder engine MAN/MTU D 3650 HM 3 U with an output of 500 HP as a heating diesel engine, which had proven itself more…

DB BR 628.0 (Deutz)  LokSound 5 European Sound files N XL L M4

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  LokSound 5 European Sound files N XL L M4

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…
