Märklin 38600 H0 Diesel Locomotive V60: Classic Era III Shunting Locomotive

The Märklin 38600 H0 Diesel Locomotive V60 is a highly detailed reproduction of the German Federal Railroad (DB) class V 60 diesel switch engine. This model in operating condition around 1960 is characterized by a purple-red basic paint scheme, numerous intricate details, and the latest digital technology. The completely new design brings this iconic locomotive to your H0 model railroad layout.

The prototype: V 60 diesel shunting locomotive

The V 60 was developed as a versatile shunting locomotive for use on smaller stations and works railroads. With its diesel-hydraulic drive, the blind shaft and the striking driver's cab, it set standards in efficiency and design. The locomotive shown here with the road number V 60 334 shows the series version with a driver's cab roof with ventilation flaps and the first form of silencer. The Dofa furnace and the coal container on the right-hand side of the car give the locomotive its typical character.

Märklin - Precision and Innovation

This model sets new standards in detail and functionality. With an mfx+ decoder, extensive sound functions and digitally controllable Telex couplers at the front and rear, the V60 is perfectly suited for realistic shunting maneuvers. The cab and engine lighting as well as the buffer storage provide an authentic and reliable driving experience.

Technical Highlights of the Märklin 38600

The locomotive is equipped with controlled high-efficiency propulsion that drives one axle directly and two other axles and the dummy shaft via coupling rods. Traction tires provide optimum tractive effort. The triple headlights and the red marker lights change over with the direction of travel and can be controlled digitally. Other light functions such as the double A light, the cab lighting, and the power unit lighting can be controlled separately in digital operation. The lighting is provided by maintenance-free warm white and red LEDs.

Flexibility and expansion options

The locomotive is equipped with separately switchable Telex couplings at the front and rear, allowing simple and realistic shunting operation. Attached metal grab rails and handrails give the model additional attention to detail. With a length over buffers of 12 cm, the locomotive is ideal for compact H0 layouts and tight radii.
