Product Features and Details
Information about the model
The high demand for shunting locomotives on the one hand, and the beginning of structural change on the other, prompted the German Federal Railway (Deutsche Bundesbahn) to develop the V60 series. The first prototype in 1955 was followed by 941 more locomotives over the next eight years. Their reliability and robustness helped the last newly developed rod-driven diesel locomotive of the DB achieve true cult status and make it indispensable to this day in many railway stations and on main lines.
