Some information about the prototype:

The V 90 is a medium-duty diesel-hydraulic shunting and transfer locomotive of the German Federal Railway (DB), developed for demanding operations on the rails. Originally conceived as a further development of the V 100, Maschinenbau Kiel (MaK) created an entirely new design: longer, more robust and more powerful. The first 20 pre-production locomotives were delivered in 1964/65, followed by series production from 1966 onwards featuring the proven MTU 12-cylinder engine and a top speed of 80 km/h. Over the decades, the V 90 proved highly versatile, appearing in liveries ranging from the original purple-red paint scheme to ocean blue/beige and today’s traffic red design. Today, the class forms the backbone of DB Cargo’s single wagonload freight operations. These locomotives marshal freight trains throughout Germany, collect wagons from industrial sidings and ensure smooth operations in marshalling yards.
