    Evening All

    I have been given a photo taken in Italy in May of this year of a former German Railways Diesel Hydraulic loco, was this class of loco what our Warships were based on?

    I have found through net searches that 13 of these locos are in use in Italy with private operators, can anyone help me with this particular loco please

    Regards

    Neil

    Misidentification, this a Belgian class 62 diesel. The Belgians sold several main line diesels, shunters and even EMUs to the Italians.

    AFAIK the German DH loco type you are thinking of is a V200.

    I can't help wondering if the styling and livery of the V200 was itself inspired by the original VW Transporter van, which predates the V200 by a few years!
