The Di 6 was a diesel locomotive series of the Norges Statsbaner . Later it was used under different names in Germany.
history
The locomotives were ordered from MaK in Kiel in 1992 , built in 1995/96 and delivered to Norway between February and July 1997 .
After the sale of MaK, the locomotive has now been built by Siemens Transportation Systems . Conceptually, it comes from the MaK DE 1024 , but received power electronics from Siemens through the change of ownership. Originally, the locomotives were intended for passenger transport on the Nordlandsbane Trondheim - Bodø . However, they did not meet the expectations placed on them in operational service. Especially the climatically demanding winter in Norway bothered them. Among other things, locomotives caught fire and the control electronics did not work. Since improvements were unsuccessful, NSB returned the diesel locomotives that it considered to be unusable to the manufacturer Siemens at the beginning of 1999.
SFT / Siemens ME 26
After a revision at DSB in Copenhagen, the locomotives were placed in what was then Siemens' own rental pool Dispolok . The locomotives ran here as ME 26. The Luxembourg State Railroad CFL rented six of the locomotives that they urgently needed to replace the electric locomotives of the 3600 series .
Vossloh DE 2700
The rental contracts expired in mid-2004 and the vehicles were sold to Vossloh and renamed DE 2700. The locomotives were thoroughly refurbished and modernized before they were delivered to the new location at the Nord-Ostsee-Bahn (NOB). A push-pull train control was installed.
The locomotives were initially all used by the NOB for passenger trains from Hamburg to Westerland on Sylt . Here they made a name for themselves in the first few months with numerous failures and a generator fire in the Klanxbüll station (2006). However, these problems could be resolved. In the course of 2007, improved silencers were installed, as the “thumping” of the almost 150 liter V-12 engine had led to complaints from residents of the route.
DE 2700-04 ran between 2012 and 2018 for NIAG and DE 2700-06 has been in use for Holzlogistik und Güterbahn GmbH, Bebra (HLG) since mid-May 2015.
In the meantime, some of the locomotives have been leased to various railway companies on short notice . Eight locomotives were still leased to the NOB. After the NOB had to hand over the Marschbahn to DB Regio Schleswig-Holstein at the end of 2016 , the vehicles were transferred to other companies, so that they were rarely on the route when they were temporarily rented by the operator of the route. According to DE 2700-10 and 11, the last locomotive of this type was number 07, which has since been sold to Hectorrail.
After the introduction of the new UIC numbering scheme at the beginning of 2007, DE 2700 was classified in the German Vehicle Settings Register as series 92 80 1251, for example DE 2700-2 received the NVR number 92 80 1251 002-2-D VL.
The RDC Germany had for the car train Sylt rented several vehicles of the type ME 26 for operating the route Niebüll-Westerland. Most recently, it was the locomotives with the numbers 02 and 03, which the company bought in March 2018.
In 2018 five locomotives (DE 2700-04, -07, -08, -09 and -11) were sold to Hector Rail . There they received the series designation 861 and are to be used in Germany on the Rhäsa – Coswig route.
DE 2700-05 has been parked in the former BW Neumünster for months in 2018 with the owner lettering Nord-Ostsee-Bahn (NOB) (as of August 2018).
