DB Class V 61 Diesel Locomotive, Era III
Prototype: German Federal Railroad (DB) fictitious class V 61 diesel switch engine. After the privately owned and industrial railroads were thoroughly satisfied with the DHG 500 delivered from Henschel in Kassel, the large German Federal Railroad (DB) also acquired this unit too. The units of the series DHG 500 are in terms of the drive system considerably more modern than the class V 60 diesel locomotives which have side rod drive and are powered using a jackshaft. Since the maintenance is downright personnel and cost intensive, the German Federal Railroad decided to copy the privately owned and industrial railroads and to order several of the henceforth designated class V 61 locomotives from Henschel.
