Diesel locomotive class 2062 in green livery of the Austrian
Federal Railways.
■ Model with digital shunting couplers. More play fun
guaranteed!
■ Engine front end and gear block made of die cast metal, therefore
more dead weight and high tractive power
■ Rich detailing on the model with many plug-in parts and
freestanding handles
■ Prototypical light and sound functions using on-board switchable
decoder
■ Unobstructed view through the authentic driver's cab
■ Buffer capacitor for uninterruptible power supply
To replace the cost- and personnel-intensive steam locomotives in
the shunting service, the Austrian Federal Railways purchased a
series of the 400 hp fast diesel locomotives of the series 2062
from 1958 onwards. The Jenbacher works in Tyrol built a total of 65
of these two-axle small diesel locomotives by 1966.
With its eye-catching cast-iron front shields, which serve as
ballast weights, the ÖBB used the locomotive throughout Austria for
shunting and construction train services. On the branch lines of
Lower Austria, the locomotives were found in front of passenger
trains and hauled one or two carriages. The last locomotives
retired from regular service in 2003. However, some of them are
still in operation today such as the works and construction train
locomotives with the series designation X262.
The model can only be operated to a limited extent with analogue
driving devices.
