Diesel locomotive 111 018-8 of the Deutsche Reichsbahn.
� Factory-delivery condition: 1982
� Based at the depot Rostock
To meet the demand for heavy shunting locomotives, the DR ordered 37 units from LEW Hennigsdorf at the end of the 1970s, as the company had already developed such locomotives for export. The locomotives, built in three batches between 1981 and 1983, featured the proven 1,000 hp motor but a gearbox with a modified transmission ratio, similar to the first V 100 locomotives. The maximum speed was therefore only 65 km/h. A ballast weight replaced the boiler. Like all DR shunting locomotives, these units were painted orange-yellow, and railings were installed on the front hoods to ensure the safety of shunting personnel during travel.
