BR245 / Traxx DE ME
BR 245 is the brand new diesel electric multi-motor loco of German State Railway DB. Based on the electric locos BR 145-185 new 245 shares around 75 % of the parts with them. The four Caterpillar CAT C18 diesel motors develop 563 kW each. The loco is able to reach a maximum speed of 160 km/h. Only sometimes the traction motors need the energy of all of the four motors, so the electronic system decides by itself to start or to switch off motors during operation.

Brawa BR 232
In the late 1960s the railway of the German Democratic Republic (DR) ordered successors for their V200 class. The new class should have an electric heating to pull also passenger trains. The first two series (class 130 and 131) did not have a heating equipment yet. In 1973 the first of 709 samples of the electric heater equipped 132 class had been delivered to the DR. The externally quite similar 130/131/132 had a diesel electric drive and a 3000 HP 16 cylinder 4 stroke prime mover 16 Tsch N26/26 5 D 49 from Russian Kolomna plant. In 1977 the DR added six 4000 HP units called class 142 that based on the 132. In the 1990s after the DR and the western German DB merged the 130 and 131 were scrapped or sold and many of the now called BR 232 (ex 132) had been equipped with new vents to lower the noise. Some received new Kolomna motors, too and were named BR 233. Some of the 232 are still in freight service at the DB. Many of the 130/131/142 are in use of private railways. The whole loco family is known under the nickname Ludmilla in Germany.

Vt858
For relations with less passenger traffic Deutsche Reichsbahn-Gesellschaft (DRG) ordered a quantity of 17 rail diesel cars with the VT 851-861 and VT 866-871. The 6-cylinder four stroke engine gave his power via four speed gear box onto one side rod equipped truck. Based on the passenger rail diesel cars the DRG also built three cars for light part load traffic. After WWII one passenger car stayed in service at DB till 1957, another one at DR till around 1960.

BR 261
After Millenium the German State Railway (DB) need to order new locos to replace old fashioned shunting locos of Classes 362 - 365 (former BR V60) and 290 - 295 (former BR V90). The German Voith Turbo Lokomotivtechnik GmbH & Co KG developed the BR261 diesel locomotive. The prime mover of version 10BB is MTU 8V 4000 R42 and develops 1000 kW at 1800 rpm. With a maximum speed of 100 km/h and a tractive power of 258 kN the BR261 is used in heavy shunting service as well as for mid range freight service on main and branch lines. DB ordered 130 locos, but manufacturer Voith assembled some more locos to use in German leasing fleets. Because of different equipment concerning emission standard the class had been splitted into BR 260 and 261.

Talent 644
The various railcars Talent are often called the “regional ICE” because of the way they look. The front ends of the ICE and Talent are very similar in looks, which is probably no accident, because an appealing appearance is always a good sales argument. 644 series diesel-electric railcars were delivered before the diesel-mecha-nical 643 series “Talents”. They are designed for municipal railway services around Cologne and have 1,000 kW engine power (compared with the 643’s 570 kW). In combination with electric power transmission, this enables very good acceleration of 1.0 m/s, and the top speed of 120 km/h matches that of the 643. The 644s are almost 4 m longer and have twice as many doors as the 643 to ensure smooth passenger flows.

FP 220-041
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 work trains.

V 100
The diesel locomotive V100 of the Deutsche Bundesbahn (DB) had been developed in the late 1950s to replace the Prussian steam locos BR 38.10-40, BR 55 and 78. The locos had 12 cylinder four stroke motors with 1100 HP of MAN, Mercedes-Benz or Maybach. A pair of those motors also worked in the famous V200. The DB found out that the motors were not strong enough for some service so the DB ordered a stronger version of the V100.10 (later numbered as BR 211) named V100.20 (later BR 212). The 212 had a larger cooling system in the long hood and were slightly longer than the 211. They were powered by 1350 HP diesel motors of Mercedes-Benz or MAN. If a motor change had been necessary the motors had been replaced by MTU’s MB 12 V 652 TA. Both V100 types had been equipped with a 2 cyl. diesel motor to develop the electrical energy for the loco while the main diesel motor had not been working. The locos had a horn and a bell.

V 60
ESU V60
Zu Beginn der 1950er-Jahre musste die junge Deutsche Bundesbahn (DB) ihre Lokomotivflotte erneuern. Neben Streckenloks kamen auch Rangierloks auf die Reißbretter. Für den leichten Rangierdienst gab es etwa 500 Exemplare der Kleinloks der Typen Kö/Köf. Die modernsten, speziell für den leichten und mittelschweren Verschiebedienst beschafften Einheits-Dampflok-Baureihen BR 80 und 81 waren nur in einer bescheidenen Stückzahl von zusammen 27 Exemplaren vorhanden. Den schweren Rangierdienst übernahmen abgehalfterte Streckenloks der BR 55 und 57 und die wackeren mehrheitlich preußischen BR 94. Dazu kamen aus Wehrmachtsbeständen noch 25 V20 und 70 V36. Da viele Strecken und noch mehr Rangierbahnhöfe noch nicht mit Fahrleitung überspannt waren, tat die Beschaffung einer neuen Diesellok Not.
Nach den guten Erfahrungen mit den dreiachsigen V36, deren Achsen mit Kuppelstangen verbunden waren, stand eine ebenfalls dreiachsige (der besseren Übersicht halber), aber mit einem Mittelführerstand versehene Lok auf dem Wunschzettel der DB.
1953 schlossen sich die Fahrzeughersteller Maschinenbau AG (MaK), Gmeinder, Henschel, Jung, Klöckner-Humboldt-Deutz, Krupp und Maschinenfabrik Esslingen unter Federführung des Bundesbahn-Zentralamt (BZA) München zur Arbeitsgemeinschaft für die Entwicklung der V60-Diesellokomotive der Deutschen Bundesbahn (AGM V60) zusammen.
Die Arbeitsgruppe hatte zunächst ermittelt, dass die Motorleistung zum Bestehen der geforderten Aufgaben ungefähr bei 600 PS liegen müsse, wodurch sich die Bezeichnung V60 ableitet. Im Lastenheft stand eine Lokomotive, mit der der größte Teil des leichten Rangierdienstes abzudecken wäre. Bei den Streckendiesellokomotiven V80 und V200 hatte sich der Gelenkwellenantrieb bewährt, doch aufgrund der mangelnden Erfahrung mit einem dreifach gelagerten Antrieb entschied man sich für das von der V36 bekannte Antriebsprinzip mit Kuppelstangen und Blindwelle.
Das Fahrwerk sollte so ausgelegt sein, dass eine maximale Achslast von 16 Tonnen nicht überschritten wurde, damit die Maschine ihre Arbeit auch auf sich in schlechtem Zustand befindlichen Neben- und Anschlussgleisen verrichten konnte. Als Maximalgeschwindigkeit im Streckengang waren 60 km/h gefordert, womit die Lok genau so schnell war, wie die damals üblichen Durchgangsgüterzüge, und die zulässige Geschwindigkeit auf Nebenstrecken ausnutzte. Auch auf eine narrensichere Bedienung hat der Auftraggeber bestanden. Mit einem Treibraddurchmesser von 1250 mm ergab sich bei 60 km/h eine Radumdrehungszahl von 255 U/min, womit die Entwickler im für Stangenantriebe üblichen Rahmen blieben. Man kann vom heutigen Standpunkt sagen, dass man sich bei der V60 auf keinerlei Experimente eingelassen hatte.
Der ebenfalls zur Ausstattung gehörende kohlegefeuerte Warmhalteofen (Dofa-Ofen) diente nicht zum Vorheizen der Züge, sondern lediglich zum Warmhalten der abgestellten V60. Da die Kohle für den Ofen per Hand eingefüllt werden musste, ging die DB für Loks bis zur dritten Nachbauserie dazu über, ölgefeuerte Sturzbrenner der Firma Hagenuk einzubauen. Da weiterhin der Brennraum des Dofa-Ofens genutzt wurde, lassen sich die Loks mit den unterschiedlichen Warmhaltegeräten äußerlich nicht unterscheiden. Loks ab der 4. Nachbauserie erhielten ab Werk einen ölgefeuerten Warmwasserkessel, der einen runden Querschnitt hat, womit sich die Loks deutlich von den Vorgängerserien unterscheiden.
Ab den 1990er-Jahren ersetzte die DB die Öfen durch mit Fremdstrom betriebene Warmhaltegeräte, wodurch die Öfen am vorderen Ende unterhalb des rechten Umlaufs entfielen. Weitere äußerliche Änderungen waren der Einbau von Indusimagneten ab Mitte der 1960er-Jahre sowie ab 1985 die Ausrüstung der Mehrzahl der Loks mit automatischen Kupplungen. Den fünf ab 1955 gelieferten Vorauslokomotiven folgten verteilt auf fünf Nachbauserien bis April 1964 weitere 937 Maschinen. Die Vorausloks unterscheiden sich sowohl untereinander, als auch von den äußerlich weitgehend identisch ausgeführten Nachbauserien.
DB-intern werden die Serienmaschinen in leichte und schwere Loks unterteilt. Äußerlich unterscheiden sich beide Typen nicht. Die 54 t auf die Waage bringende schwere Ausführung besitzt einen stärker dimensionierten Rahmen als die nur 48 t wiegenden leichten Loks. Zunächst trugen die leichten Loks drei-, die schweren vierstellige Ordnungsnummern. Mit Einführung der computergerechten Bezeichnungen im Jahre 1968 erhielten die leichten Loks die Baureihennummer BR 260, die schweren wurden als BR 261 geführt.
Bis in die frühen 1980er-Jahre mussten die Loks beider Baureihen mit als Lokführer ausgebildetem Personal besetzt werden. Die den Kleinloks zugeteilten Kö-Typen durften dagegen auch von speziell geschultem Rangierpersonal bedient werden, was geringere Personalkosten zur Folge hatte. Durch eine 1987 durchgeführte Umzeichnung der Loks in die Baureihen 360 und 361 teilte die DB die Maschinen den Kleinloks zu und schuf für die als Lokpersonal ausgebildeten Rangierer die Berufsbezeichnung Lok-Rangier-Führer. Die mit Automatischer Kupplung (AK) und Funkfernsteuerung ausgerüsteten Maschinen erhielten die Bezeichnung 364 (leichte Bauart) und 365 (schwere Bauart).
Die BR 362 und 363 entstanden erst ab 1992 und bezeichnen Loks, die mit dem Caterpillar-Motor 3412 DI-TA anstatt des originalen Maybach GTO 6 / GTO 6A ausgerüstet wurden. Andere in einzelnen Loks erprobte Motoren waren stückzahlenmäßig nicht relevant.
Die mittlerweile bei nahezu allen Maschinen fast 50 Jahre betragende Einsatzdauer zeigt, dass es sich bei der V60 um eine glückliche Konstruktion handelt. Laut dem Stand - Sommer 2012 - befinden sich noch 405 Maschinen der Baureihen 360 bis 365 im Bestand der DB, privater Betreiber oder bei Museumsbahnen.
Haupttätigkeitsfeld der V60-Typen war von jeher der Rangierdienst, doch kamen die Loks auch stets mit Übergabezügen rund um den Kirchturm der jeweiligen Bahnbetriebswerke (Bw) zum Einsatz. Mangels Zugheizung waren Einsätze im Personenverkehr sehr selten, da es in diesem Fall einer Zugheizeinrichtung im Personenwagen bedurfte. Trotzdem gab es gerade in den 1960er-Jahren zahlreiche Direktionen, die die V60 vor mit Kohleöfen ausgestattete Donnerbüchsen spannten. Regelmäßige Personenzugeinsätze gab es in den Direktionen Augsburg, Nürnberg, Essen und Wuppertal.
Nach der Wende 1990 hielten die West-V60 auch in den neuen Bundesländern Einzug. Und das, obwohl die DR vierachsige Rangierloks der Baureihen 105 und 106 mit ähnlichen Leistungsdaten im Bestand hatte. So taten in den 1990er-Jahren Loks der BR 364 und 365 in den Regionalbereichen Schwerin (Betriebhof Stralsund, Rostock, Pasewalk, Neustrelitz), Berlin (Bh Berlin-Pankow, Seddin, Cottbus), Erfurt (Bh Erfurt), Halle (Bh Leipzig Süd), Dresden (Bh Dresden, Chemnitz, Reichenbach) ihren Dienst.
Fabrikneu wurden V60 an die belgischen (SNCB-NMBS), griechischen (CEH) sowie an die türkischen Staatsbahnen (TCDD) und nach Israel geliefert. Die zuverlässigen Loks waren nach ihrem Ausscheiden in Deutschland beliebte Exportartikel. So gelangten die Loks in die Schweiz, nach Norwegen, Jugoslawien, Italien und Algerien.

V200.0
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 work trains.

V100
The diesel locomotive V100 of the Deutsche Bundesbahn (DB) had been developed in the late 1950s to replace the Prussian steam locos BR 38.10-40, BR 55 and 78. The locos had 12 cylinder four stroke motors with 1100 HP of MAN, Mercedes-Benz or Maybach. A pair of those motors also worked in the famous V200. The DB found out that the motors were not strong enough for some service so the DB ordered a stronger version of the V100.10 (later numbered as BR 211) named V100.20 (later BR 212). The 212 had a larger cooling system in the long hood and were slightly longer than the 211. They were powered by 1350 HP diesel motors of Mercedes-Benz or MAN. If a motor change had been necessary the motors had been replaced by MTU’s MB 12 V 652 TA. Both V100 types had been equipped with a 2 cyl. diesel motor to develop the electrical energy for the loco while the main diesel motor had not been working. The locos had a horn and a bell.

BR V80
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. All locomotives had been equipped with signal horn and bell.
