The prototype: The BR 260 of the German Federal Railroad

The chrome-plated wheelsets with ball bearings and the robust running gear ensure reliable running characteristics. With its high tractive power and precise workmanship, this shunting locomotive is a real highlight.

Era IV: Shunting work at the highest level

Era IV marked a period of modernization at the German Federal Railways, in which locomotives such as the BR 260 played a central role.
