Here's more about the big one from Babelsberg: https://www.ekshop.de/dvd-cd/dvd/beru... The V 180 series of the Deutsche Reichsbahn - from 1970 series 118, from 1992 series 228 - was the largest diesel locomotive built in the GDR. It was intended to replace steam traction on a large scale. The first ones rolled along DR tracks in the early 1960s. For a long time, the beautifully designed machines were an important part of the Reichsbahn's vehicle fleet. In 1995 - already during the DB AG era - the last of them were put on the siding.
