Product Features and Details
Prototype:
Starting in the late 1930s, a total of 129 shunting locomotives with 200 HP power were produced. They had wheel arrangement B with an axle load of approx. 14 tons and were mostly designated as WR 200 B14. The two sets of spoked wheels were driven via a jackshaft and coupling rods. Various manufacturers were involved in the production of the 129 pieces. Although the 3-axle version with 360 hp (V36) achieved greater popularity and distribution, the V20s served reliably and in great numbers with the DB until the end of the 1970s. With the DR they remained in use, in some cases, for longer. Even though their main use was in the shunting service, they were also used on passenger trains or on private railroads. The 2061.01 came to Austria and was used by BBÖ and ÖBB. Today, numerous machines of the of the V20 are still preserved in museums or can be experienced in operation.
Especially for gauge 1, this small, yet full-grown shunting diesel locomotive is an ideal addition to any layout. Special shunting couplers can be easily retrofitted, and the slow running characteristics guarantee a lot of fun while shunting, whether on a diorama or a larger layout. You will see that the V20 works in any situation and thanks to its weight it has tractive power even for heavy trains.
