Product Features and Details
Prototype: From 1977, the Deutsche Reichsbahn acquired 200 diesel locomotives in the 119 series from Romania. The six-axle machines had two separate machines with hydraulic power transmission. Licensed structures were used from a MTU diesel engine with 990 kW performance. The 16 t axle load allowed the locomotive to be used on secondary lines. Due to the six round “port holes” on the side walls, the locomotives were nicknamed “submarines”.
