DR Class V 60

About 25 per cent were exported to Comecon countries, and the so-called Non-Socialist Economic Area (Nichtsozialistisches Wirtschaftsgebiet, NSW).

Based on the requirements, LKM Babelsberg built a four-axle prototype locomotive with an asymmetrically arranged driver's cab and drive via a jackshaft and coupling rods.

[3] In 1986, the last major transport project in East Germany was the new Mukran Ferry Port in Sassnitz.

The port was primarily used to provide a trouble-free connection between East Germany and the former Soviet Union.

[4] In the first series, the original paintwork was red with white stripes; later, the DR painted all shunting locomotives yellow.
