Prototype information

After their presentation in 1975 at the Leipzig Trade Fair, six locomotives with an engine output of 4,000 hp (2,940 kW) and a top speed of 120 km/h were put into service as the 142 series in 1977 and 1978. In this series, developed on behalf of the DR, the manufacturer took care to use as many parts as possible that could be exchanged with the 132 series machines and to ensure that the operating and monitoring devices of the 142 series corresponded to those of the previous design. The 142 differed from the 132 series primarily in having a new main generator and traction motors of the ED 120 type, whose output was increased to 411 kW. The 2-5 D49 diesel engine differed from the 5 D49 of the 132 in having a new exhaust turbocharger.
In order to limit the unsprung mass, the large wheels (= drive gears) in this series were for the first time sprung and mounted on the wheel set shafts. After its factory test drive on April 25, 1977, the 142 001 came to the VES-M Halle (Saale), where the assemblies modified for the 132 series were examined and the driving dynamics characteristics were recorded. The locomotive was taken to the Halle G depot for operational testing. Later, like the 142 002 and all four other machines, it was taken to the Stralsund depot, the 142 003 and 004 in 1977 and the 142 005 and 006 in 1978.
