Prototype information

The VTG Köf. In the Nineties, Vereinigte Tanklager und Transportmittel GmbH / United Tank Farm and Transport Services, Inc. acquired three class 323 small locomotives that had been retired from the DB. The successor firm VTG Lehnkering sold two locomotives in 1998 and 2000 and bought a Köf again in 2002 that had already been used by a toy manufacturer in industrial work after its service on the DB. The present VTG, Inc. uses the two remaining locomotives at the Syke-Barrien car plant (near Bremen).
