Details

The WR 360 C 14 diesel locomotives were originally designed for the German Wehrmacht, serving at strategically significant locations. Locomotive No. 1 is a faithful replica built by Maschinenbau Kiel (MaK) in 1948, showcasing the engineering excellence of the period. From 1948 to 1972, the Hanover Regional Postal Directorate operated a small fleet of four locomotives, numbered 1 to 4, efficiently handling duties at the postal station and the nearby DB stations. These diesel locomotives are celebrated for their historical importance, robust design, and versatility, making them a must-have for collectors and model railway enthusiasts.
