Description

In the 1950s, the Deutsche Bundesbahn developed a diesel locomotive type program to renew its fleet. The main aim was to replace steam traction on the still extensive branch line network. The single-engine V 100 series with 1100 hp engines was developed for mixed branch line service. Parallel to these V 100.10s, a total of 380 machines with 1350 hp engines were delivered from 1962 to 1965 as V 100.20s. With the introduction of the computer number, the series designation of the more powerful machines was changed to 212. After the classic red, numerous machines were given an ocean blue/beige livery from 1974/75. After the closure of numerous branch lines, the classic field of application of the V 100 also shrank. Some locomotives could be found in construction train service. Numerous locomotives found new owners, including NE railroads and track construction companies in Germany and abroad.
