Liliput L162593 N Diesel shunting locomotive 332 021-5 of DB

The company Gmeinder initially developed eight prototype locomotives, including three Köf 10 (later BR 331) and Köf 11. The power transmission was via chains that WAS had already proven to be successful. The DB decided to buy the Köf 11, the later series 332. A total of 312 series locomotives have been purchased. The first series till the Köf 11 036 still had the old unit locomotive lanterns of the DB; from the Köf 11 037 new permanently installed lamps were used. In addition to Gmeinder, the engine factories Jung Jungenthal and Orenstein & Koppel were involved in the construction of the Köf in 11. From 1990, the machines were gradually parked on the rail due to the decline in goods and, above all, shunting traffic, and the last was the 332 262 officially eliminated from the DB stock in 2002. A very large number of these machines, however, found new tasks in private and industrial railways or also in museum railways, in which they are still in use.

The locomotive with the operating number 332 021-5 was delivered as Köf 11 021 with the factory number 5258 of Gmeinder 1962 and accepted on 01/01.12.1962. On 01.01.1968 it was resigned into 332 021-5. Until 1981 she was stationed at Bw Stuttgart, until 1987 in Kornwestheim, until 1997 in Bw Singen, and from 1997 again at Bw Kornwestheim. She got the paint in Orient red/Light gray in July 1991.
