In the course of the development of the shunting locomotive BR V 60
of the German Reichsbahn (East), which began in 1959, the testing
of the first two prototype machines commenced. Before the series
production started, some design modifications needed to be made and
were tested in another small series of five machines. From 1962 to
1964, the company LKM Babelsberg delivered the first series of 63
locomotives to the DR. During the construction of the first main
series, a rain protection roof was also installed on top of the
side windows. The fronts of the locomotive nose were also slightly
altered. While the "noses" of the first machines with prominent
lamps had a design that was slightly curved around a vertical axle
and were mounted on consoles, the "noses" of the new locomotives
from locomotive number V 60 1053 onwards had a straight
construction with corner rounds, and the lamps were directly
mounted at the front of the locomotive. As a result of a new
service regulation, the DR shunting locomotives were gradually
painted with an orange-yellow color during revisions.
