Novelty 2026: The legendary T455.0 shunting diesel locomotives
stand for robust simplicity, high reliability, and wide-ranging
usability in shunting and light freight operations. Since the
1950s/1960s, these four-stroke diesel locomotives have not only
shaped operations in Hungary, but – in exported variants – also
found their place in Czechoslovakia and on Czech industrial
railways. The design is a classic four-axle configuration (B’B’)
that provides shunting personnel with excellent visibility of the
track. This combination of compact construction, simple electrical
systems, and easy access to inspection openings made the
locomotives particularly popular for industrial use. In
Czechoslovakian service, the locomotives were flexibly employed for
shunting and lighter line duties whenever robust, straightforward
performance was required. The simple construction facilitated
maintenance and repairs in the workshops of the ?SD and later the
?D, as well as for industrial operators. Version with early series
