To replace the expensive and labour-intensive steam locomotives
used in shunting services, the Austrian Federal Railways procured a
series of 400 hp class 2062 diesel locomotives starting in 1958.
The Jenbacher Works in Tyrol built a total of 65 of these two-axle
diesel locomotives by 1966.
Featuring distinctive cast-iron front shields that also serve as
ballast weights, these locomotives operated throughout Austria in
shunting and construction train services. On the Lower Austrian
branch lines, they were commonly seen hauling passenger trains with
one or two coaches. The last of these locomotives were withdrawn
from regular service in 2003; however, some remain in operation
today as works and construction train locomotives, designated with
the series number X262.
Note: The model is a new item, which is created by overprinting
some details such as the road number or frame lettering. The
specific details are taken over correctly depending on the
prototype. The models are offered at an attractive RRP, as
overprints may be visible to a certain extent.
