The DB BR 261 is a Shunting and Light Diesel Loco that is widely spread all around Germany. The Voith Gravita locomotives are a family of road switcher diesel-hydraulic locomotives built by Voith Turbo Lokomotivtechnik GmbH & Co. KG. Available in a range of configurations from 4 to 6 axles, they are designed for shunting and light and medium freight operations. The 10BB version has been chosen by Deutsche Bahn as a replacement for its DB Class 290 locomotives with an order of 130 locos in 2008. Voith, a well known manufacture of hydraulic transmissions and other locomotive components entered the locomotive building business in 2006 with the launch of the Voith Maxima locomotives at InnoTrans. The Gravita series was launched at the 2008 InnoTrans event. For the production of these locomotives a new plant has been constructed in Kiel, a city already known for locomotive production. The Gravita 15BB variant was presented at InnoTrans 2010. The Gravita BB locomotives are currently used in Germany, Norway and Sweden.

Would be fresh wind and would add a new Diesel Loco to the German Train Arsenal. 2. We only got older Shunting and light freight locos like the V60, V100 and the G6. 3. Would look Great on most German routes and can be Used in multiple Ways. 4. Would Give some Variety on Shunting services. I Hope some people see this and i hope some people like this. I Personaly like this Vehicle because you can use it for multiple ways and multiple Services. and most of all its quiet (its still a bit loud but its more silent then others)
To be honest that was really detailed info and I really hope the train comes to TSW5, it looks very fancy and futuristic but by the way which route would the train fit in?
Familiar to someone who has trained simulator classic time to bring the string some major classic Luca move to the game
