Prototype:

At the beginning of the sixties, the German Federal Railways received 5 robust, modem, diesel-hydraulic bogie locomotives of the Type, B'B' for their narrow gauge tracks in Baden-Wurttemberg. All locomotives show an outward similarity to the popular DB normal gauge class V 100 which can be found all over Germany. Spheres of operation: Our two original locomotives with new computerized number (ExV51) were operated on the "Ochslebahn" in Upper Swabia before being taken out of service. The 19 km long stretch of track from Warthausen to Ochsenhausen was of great importance for the development of the areas around Bibrach. Since 1985, as museum railway - also with the Loco 251.
