Diesel locomotive V36 DB, Ep.III

The WR360 C14 was created in the late 1930s as a shunting locomotive for the Wehrmacht, which was to be used primarily in hazardous locations. The locomotive has 360 hp, three coupled axles and an axle load of 14 tonnes. After the war, the remaining locomotives, now designated V36, went to the Deutsche Bundesbahn and Deutsche Reichsbahn. Locomotives have 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, and between 1955 and 1959 seven locomotives were equipped with electro-pneumatic control that could be operated by just one man. For these operations, some V 36s underwent a major conversion: Because driving with the (quite high) stem in front was always a bit problematic and prevented one-man operation, a pulpit was placed on the driver's cab.
