Hobbytrain H28253 - Diesel locomotive HLD 231 SNCB, Ep.III

The WR360 C14 was created in the late 1930s as a shunting locomotive for the Wehrmacht, which was intended to be used primarily in explosive locations. The locomotive has 360 hp, three coupled axles and an axle load of 14 tons. After the war, the remaining locomotives, now known as V36, went to the Deutsche Bundesbahn and Deutsche Reichsbahn. Locomotives also remained in the Czech Republic, Belgium and Austria. After the war, 14 more locomotives were rebuilt. The DB also used the V36 in push-pull service with passenger cars, and between 1955 and 1959 seven locomotives were given electro-pneumatic controls that could be operated by just one man. For these operations, some V 36s were subjected to a major modification: Because driving with the (quite high) front end was always somewhat problematic and prevented one-man operation, a pulpit was placed on the driver's cab.
