Roco 72021 H0 Diesel locomotive 335 220-0 of DBG
For the distribution of passenger and goods wagons in railway stations, the Deutsche Bundesbahn relied on smaller distribution locomotives early on. A further development of the Koef 11, with power transmission via cardan shafts and additional axle gears, was presented by Gmeinder in 1965. Of this version, initially called Koef 12, 251 shunting locomotives were delivered to the Deutsche Bundesbahn as series 333. In order to enable personnel savings, a large part of the locomotives were equipped with radio remote control from the end of the 1980er. These locomotives were referred to as series 335. Some of these small locomotives also provided their service to the Bahnbau Group from 2010.This text is machine translated.
