A
hard-working classic comes to life in Train Sim World with the stunning DB BR
204 diesel locomotive!
In the
1950s, the Deutsche Reichsbahn were keen to get dieselisation underway,
replacing steam locomotives with a modern fleet of standardised locomotives,
that between all variants could cover any duty required on the network. Many
locomotive designs started cropping up, including the V60, V90 and V164, however
none managed to fill the 1,000 horsepower (746 kW) market, and so a further
design was established.
Named
the “V100”, the first of this new 1,000 horsepower locomotive was built in 1966
(following the production of two prototypes) and the result was a double-ended
locomotive with the cab situated in the middle, allowing for seamless operation
in either direction. In all, over 860 of these locomotives would be built, and
they were put to use on all medium-weight freight traffic throughout East
Germany.
Many
locomotives were rebuilt during their lifespan in order to excel at more
specific duties, one such in particular was retrofitted with a 1,475 horsepower
(1100 kW) engine, and these were classified as the DR Class 114. With the
Reunification of Germany and the merger of Deutsche Reichsbahn and Deutsche
Bundesbahn, these locomotives were reclassified once again to become the DB BR
204 and started to see more widespread use, particularly as shunting
locomotives.
Now,
you can experience the classic DB BR 204 for yourself, as it has been
authentically brought to life in Train Sim World!
