Because the performance of the diesel-powered VT 11.5 (class 601)
proved insufficient, four power heads were converted to gas turbine
drive in 1971, the most striking feature of which was the large air
intakes in front of the driver's cab which supplied the turbine
with air.
Due to deficiencies, the operation of these trains became
increasingly uneconomical, which is why the multiple units running
under the designation class 602 were taken out of service again by
the DB in 1978 and 1979. Only the power head 602 003 has been
preserved for museum purposes. It can now be found in the DB Museum
in Nuremberg.
