DB Diesel Loco
THE PROTOTYPE
To replace aging steam locomo-
tives on their narrow gauge
branch lines, the German Rail-
ways (DB) purchased five modern

270 horsepower diesel engines
are mounted under the long front
hood, while the short hood con-
ceals the air compressor, air

The prototype of the model

meter-gauge line between Mos-
bach and Mudau in southwestern
Germany, until this line was aban-
doned.
