3072, Diesel-hydraulic locomotive "V 100"
The locomotive 3072 is bought from Germany in June 1978, when I was working near ULM as trainee for 10 weeks. This was the first loco I have ever bought!
The conversion of this locomotive with Märklin mfx conversion set (item 60924) is not officially supported. Conversion needs modifications to locomotive metal body.
The V 100 (later marked as 211 and 212) is a multi-purpose diesel locomotive with a working weight of 63.2 tons and a length of over 12 m (39ft. 4"). The new types develop about 1000 kW, and this power is transmitted by means of cardan shafts to the 4 axles arranged in 2 trucks.
To suit the tractive force of the powerful motor to the requirements of passenger and freight traffic, a two speed gearbox is used. The gear ratio must be selected when the locomotive is stationary. In low gear the locomotive exerts its maximum speed of only 65 km/h (40 mph), while in high gear it reaches 100km/h (62 mph).
