Hobbytrain 28250 - Diesel locomotive V36 DB Ep.III

The WR360 C14 was developed in the late 1930s as a shunting locomotive for the Wehrmacht, which was to be used primarily in potentially 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 V36s, went to the Deutsche Bundesbahn and Deutsche Reichsbahn. Locomotives also remained in the Czech Republic, Belgium and Austria. After the war, 14 locomotives were rebuilt. The DB also used the V36 in push-pull operation with passenger coaches. Between 1955 and 1959, seven locomotives were given electro-pneumatic controls that could be operated by just one man. Some V 36s underwent a major conversion for these operations: Because driving with the (quite high) front end in front was always a bit problematic and prevented one-man operation, a cockpit was placed on the driver's cab.
