European Railroad Discussion > vintage diesels in GermanyDate: 10/22/14 01:07 vintage diesels in Germany Author: boiler77 Hi,
at first you see the 221 145 from the former DB - Railway in Germany. A few of the between 1962-65 ever built 50 unit are survived in pirvat railroad service throghout Europe. The shown 145 is a fresh rebuilt engine by Netinera in Neustrelitz that wait for a new owner. It was show on the Innotrans Fair in Berlin last September to demonstrate the competence of this facility. For more information look here: http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/DB-Baureihe_V_200.1 Second one is the "European - F" unit. A in Sweden by NoHab built M 61. Last one roll out in 1965. I was be able to catch them as an drive-by-shot from a open cabwindow while riding as second driver on a Berlin-S-Bahn train. She was driving as My1155 in worktrain service. The owner is "Altmark Rail" in Germany. Third one is a russian built 231. It was create as an freight only diesel without an extra generator for train heating. Gear ratio allow a maximum speed to 63mph (100kmh) and the primemover developed 3000hp. The 012 is the only one in service in Germany. The others are all class 232 with a 120kmh gear ratio and heating generator. See this unit in Berlin Ostkreuz with a ballasttrain. Thank you - Phil from Berlin, Germany Date: 10/22/14 03:00 Re: vintage diesels in Germany Author: McKey Thank you Phil, excellent pictures!
I did not realize you actually got occasionally Nohab Mys in Berlin. I bet the class 231 in those original red colors looks very interesting to many of us. Date: 10/22/14 05:54 Re: vintage diesels in Germany Author: ATSF3751 Love the Chicago Great Western inspired paint scheme on 1155.
