Specific Item Information: In 1962, Henschel sent road number V 320 001 as the largest and most powerful diesel-hydraulic locomotive in Europe at that time (3,800 horsepower) on loan to the DB and ready to run. After various changes of ownership, it finally went to Italy. From there the tracklaying firm WIEBE imported the V 320 back to Germany in 1999 in a spectacular fashion. After an extensive overhaul and a completed general inspection, it ran from March of 2000 on German rails again in track laying service, then soon as road number 320 001-1 (WIEBE 7). Here it was responsible chiefly for hauling heavy trains with loads of track laying material. Its career was ended finally in 2015 by wheelset bearing damage. Since 2017, it has enriched its builder's plant in Kassel (currently Alstom) as a display piece.

Prototype: Diesel locomotive road number V 320 001-1 painted and lettered for the privately owned track laying company H.F. Wiebe. 2 DB AG type Fcs hopper dump cars and 2 DB AG type Res low side cars with promotional lettering for H.F. Wiebe. The locomotive and cars look as they do in Era VI.
Road Name History:
works in the fields of track construction and permanent way welding on infrastructural traffic routes.
Brand/Importer Information:
Gebr. Märklin & Cie. GmbH or Märklin (MÄRKLIN or MAERKLIN in capital letters) is a German toy company. The company was founded in 1859 and is based at Göppingen in Baden-Württemberg. Although it originally specialized in doll house accessories, today it is best known for model railways and technical toys. In some parts of Germany and in Sweden, the company's name is almost synonymous with model railroads.

Märklin introduced Z Scale in 1972. Connoisseurs appreciate Märklin Z as much as the most inveterate modeler: The charm of these finely constructed gems is best seen in the smallest of space. Because, this scale with all kinds of precision translated into 1:220 scale awaits you with almost unlimited operating enjoyment. It doesn't get any better.
