Shunting locomotives are designed primarily for shunting wagons at train stations and marshalling yards. They were formerly used as industrial locomotives and for train haulage on open lines, which is something very rare these days. At present, there are two series of shunting locomotives running on Croatian railroads, namely diesel-hydraulic locomotives series HŽ 2132 and diesel-electric locomotives series HŽ 2041.
Diesel-hydraulic locomotive series HŽ 2133/JŽ 734 Diesel-hydraulic locomotives of series HŽ 2133 were built between 1955 and 1964 at the German factory Maschinen Fabrik-Kiel AG. The locomotives are equipped with three drive shafts connected by rodes and hydraulic transmission, a built-in four-stroke diesel V engine with two cylinders connected to a common crankshaft. The transmission is located at the tail of the locomotive in the bogie and consists of hydraulic torque converter, driving mode converter and timetable converter. In 1986, the Jugoslavenske željeznice railway company purchased a total of 15 used locomotives from the Deutsche Bahn, which were deployed at the railway administrations in Zagreb, Belgrade and Skopje. This included 10 German series V 260 locomotives (in the JŽ substructure series 0, in the HŽ substructure series 000) and five series V 261 locomotives (in the JŽ substructure series 1, in the HŽ substructure series 100). The series differed in the performance of the diesel engine. Due to their German origin, the locomotives obtained the popular name Švabice (Swabian girls). Given that the locomotives were acquired as used, they soon underwent a complete refurbishment, during which the procurement of imported spare parts, in particular for the Maybach diesel engine, presented major problems. As a result, there was a proposal to replace the existing diesel engine with the domestic engine made by the Pielstick engine factory “Uljanik” from Pula, however, the re-motorization was never carried out. Today, the locomotives are no longer in active service. The installed power of the 734 type V 260 locomotive is 478 kW (650 HP), and 511 kW (695 HP) for the type V 261. The tractive power of both locomotive types is 441 kW (600 HP), with a maximum speed range of 30–60 km/h and a wheel diameter of 1,250 mm. The weight of the V260 type locomotives is 48 tons and of the V 261 type 54 tons. The axle load of the type V 260 locomotive is 16 tons, and 18 tons for the type V 261. The length over the buffers on both locomotive types measures 10,450 mm. Helena Bunijevac, prof.
