The Henschel DHG 1200 BB is a diesel-hydraulic locomotive that was built by Rheinstahl Henschel . It was intended for heavy use on works and branch lines, mainly in collieries and smelting works. The Henschel DHG 1200 BB has two bogies. The drive is diesel-hydraulic with an output of 883 kW (1200 PS). There are two different types of this locomotive.
1966
The locomotive belongs to the so-called fourth post-war generation of Henschel locomotives. In these high-performance bogie locomotives, components from the three-axle Henschel standard rigid frame locomotives DHG 360 C , DHG 500 C and DHG 700 C were largely used. So are z. B. wheelsets, the axle bearings, axle bearing guides, axle drives, the driver's cab and the driver's cab equipment are identical.
In contrast to the first versions as the DHG 1000 BB , it only had one motor and no longer angled stems, as were still common with the shorter types.
The Henschel DHG 1200 BB was built in 1966 in only four copies. All of them went to what was then Rheinpreussen AG for use in the Pattberg shafts . Today they are in use at RBH Logistics .
1973 to 1976
Bogie locomotives were also offered in the fifth generation. Outwardly, they differed from the previous type in that the edges on the stems were no longer rounded. Here, too, as many components as possible were taken over from the three-axle locomotives. A total of ten units with different engine types were produced from 1973 to 1975 and sent to Hoesch (three locomotives), to Danish private railways (three locomotives, all in Switzerland in 2011), to the Swedish TGOJ (two locomotives) and to the WLE as a Henschel rental locomotive ( today at ThyssenKrupp in Duisburg) and the Nievenheim-Zons industrial railway (one each).
In Austria another nine locomotives were built under license from Jenbacher for VÖEST Linz (three locomotives) and the Graz-Köflacher Eisenbahn (six locomotives).
