Discover the robust DR 199.8, a powerful diesel locomotive designed for demanding narrow-gauge railways.

This impressive machine, originally from the LEW V 100 series built between 1966 and 1985, boasts a C'C' axle arrangement, ensuring excellent traction and stability on its 1000 mm gauge tracks.

With a formidable 1380 kW power output and a top speed of 50 km/h, the DR 199.8 has served admirably, including a refurbishment period at RAW Stendal from 1988 to 1990.
