Diesel locomotive V 60
The role models
Due to the need for small shunting locomotives, the DB had the V 60 developed at the beginning of the 1950s; pre-series models were available from Krupp, Krauss-Maffei, Mak and Henschel. The first V 60s were put into service in the mid-1950s and were produced by almost all well-known locomotive manufacturers.
Of the almost 950 V 60s built, a good 620 locomotives with an unchanged friction load were run from 1968 in the 260 number range. Some machines were given a reinforced frame and thus a higher friction weight and were given the number 261. Since 1987, the locomotive has been classified as a small locomotive and is therefore assigned to the number range 360 or 361.
In the mid-1980s, Krauss-Maffei converted the 260/261 to radio remote control (the first trials had already taken place in 1962), and the series locomotives with remote control were given the designations 364 and 365. The original 12-cylinder Maybach has been replaced by a Caterpillar engine since the early 1990s. Most of the locomotives are still in use today.

New editions with revised drive
The models impress with their extensive equipment and - like all Lenz locomotives - with their faithfully detailed representation. In addition to the standard equipment:
- For the first time in 0-gauge: The position of the engine driver depends on the direction of travel: if you change this, the engine driver changes its position before moving off in the new direction of travel.
- Decoder with USP and energy storage as well as numerous functions and sound already integrated.
Equipment for all Lenz 0-gauge locomotives and traction units:
All 0-gauge locomotives from Lenz set standards in terms of equipment, functionality and fidelity to the original:
- Mixed metal/plastic construction
- High-performance motor
- Flange height less than 1.2 mm
