The WR360 C14 was developed in the late 1930s as a shunting locomotive for the Wehrmacht, which was primarily intended for use at locations with a risk of explosion. The locomotive has 360 hp, three coupled axles and an axle load of 14 tons. After the war, the remaining locomotives, now known as the V36, went to the Deutsche Bundesbahn and Deutsche Reichsbahn. Locomotives also remain in the Czech Republic, Belgium and Austria. After the war, 14 more locomotives were rebuilt. The DB also used the V36 in push-pull operation with passenger coaches, and seven locomotives were fitted with an electro-pneumatic control system between 1955 and 1959, which could be operated by just one man. Some V 36s underwent a major conversion for these operations: Because driving with the (rather high) front end ahead was always somewhat problematic and prevented one-man operation, a pulpit was placed on the driver’s cab.
