PIKO 37560 - G diesel locomotive BR 204

Completely new design of the DR series 110 in the DB AG painting and lettering as BR 204. In 1963, the DR developed a diesel locomotive
for medium-sized passenger trains, freight trains and
heavy shunting services
, with parts the V 180
were used. During the locomotive construction
"Karl Marx" in Babelsberg
a four-axle diesel locomotive
with a central driver's cab and hydraulic
power transmission was created. It runs on
two bogies that are articulated via
pivots. The
main frame is supported on the bogies
via
coil springs. The individual units are housed in
the front structures. The
BR 204 is equipped with a 1,500 hp engine
and fluid transmission.
After the merger of the
Deutsche Bahn, a large
number of these machines became the BR 204
no longer needed and therefore sold to
private companies, where they
continue to perform their reliable service
to this day.
