The locomotives of the series ТУ6 (German transcription TU6) of the Soviet Railways (SŽD) are narrow-gauge diesel locomotives . They were created on the basis of the previously procured ТУ4 diesel locomotive .
history
The locomotives appeared at the Istinski machine factory from 1964 . In contrast to the previous version, the locomotive only had an output of 90 hp and, like this, a hydromechanical power transmission . From 1968 to 1971 the vehicles were manufactured by the Kambarka machine factory in Kambarka and from then on had a mechanical power transmission. The superstructures were analogous to the TU4 . A total of about 150 vehicles were made by this machine.
In 2005, some vehicles from the series were still preserved. For example, there was a locomotive with the inventory number 0053 on the Chudetskaya Narrow Gauge Railways in Leningrad Oblast . In 2007 this locomotive was scrapped. In 2011 some locomotives were found in a lumber yard in Babajewo , including two ТУ6 , one ТУ8Г , two ТУ7 and one ТU8 .
Modifications
With the designation ТУ6M ( TU6M ) a variant of the locomotive for a narrow-gauge peat railway was created with a number of eight locomotives . A perfected variant of the locomotive is the SŽD series ТУ6А .
