Manufacturer: ESU, Item number: S0389, Version: V1-R1
To modernize the shunting operation, the Rhaetian Railway RhB ordered ten diesel-hydraulic shunting tractors from the German manufacturer Schöma. The vehicles are very similar to the 420 CT 4H type purchased from RACO from 1991. The second series, comprising six vehicles, was put into operation by the RhB with track numbers 115-120. The two-axle vehicles are powered by a six-cylinder Cummins QSX diesel engine with an impressive 336 kW, which transfers its power to a three-speed converter transmission. The locomotives are stationed at larger stations such as Thusis, Ilanz or Davos. Due to a modified cooling system, the vehicles have a greater overall length than the first series locomotives, which also came from Schöma. With a maximum speed of 60 km/h, the tractors can also prove themselves in front of light local freight trains. An eddy current brake that acts almost to a standstill enables wear-free deceleration.
