Model details

Diesel locomotive 236 216-8 of the German Federal Railways.

Version without roof canopy
Enlarged cooling water expansion tank
Additional fuel tanks on the engine front section
In digital operation with switchable shunting light

The diesel locomotives of the type WR 360 C 14 were originally used by the German Wehrmacht for use at strategically important points. With the end of the Second World War, they became a civilian all-rounder.
Although the V 36 curiously ran under the same name in West and East Germany after the war, there were clear differences between the two versions: At the DB, two additional fuel tanks on the engine front section increased the range of the locomotive. In addition, the DB-V 36 was given a DB-style front radiator grille and a cooling water expansion tank on the front section. The side radiator fan grilles were closed with panels, and a side maintenance hatch on the front end was omitted.
The last locomotives, now known as the 236 series, were in use by the DB until 1981.
