The V 240 was a DR prototype for a 2,400 HP strong, 140 km/h fast Diesel locomotive, based on the DR Class V 180 (later DBAG 228, Dicke Babelsbergerin), build in 1965. Although the locomotive did everything she should do, no series production was commenced due to the Soviet-Union, that banned all production of Diesel locomotives stronger than 2,000 HP outside the USSR. Today, the loco is part of the collection of the Dresden Verkehrsmuseum. Here she shows herself to the public at Dresden Hbf.
