bogie of the ВМЭ1-043, Hungarian (diesel-)electric shunting locomotive, type 1 designed and manufactured by the Ganz-MAVAG for Soviet Railways on exposition of the Russian Railways Museum in St Petersburg
ВМЭ1 (Hungarian electric shunting locomotive, type 1) were designed and manufactured by the Ganz-MAVAG factory from 1958 to 1965 (DVM4 factory type; DVM2 prototype). A total of 324 locomotives were built: 310 for the USSR railways and 14 for the DPRK railways. The locomotive was equipped with the Ganz-Jendrassik XVI-JV 17/24 four-stroke prechamber V-shape diesel engine with sixteen cylinders with a power output of 441 kW (up to No. 136) or 471 kW (from No. 137 onwards). This engine was also used in the leading motor cars of the six-car DP-01-08 diesel trains built in 1950-1952 by the Hungarian Ganz factory (Hungarian: Ganz vállalatok) in Budapest for the USSR railways. From 1951 to 1958, these diesel trains operated as courier trains and later as express trains on the Moscow-Leningrad route (October Railway) and were the fastest and most comfortable trains of their time on the railways of the Soviet Union. AS this diesel passenger train the locomotive had the electric transmission included an EBSc 41/200 traction d.c. generator with a capacity of 370 kW.
The locomotive can be seen in the Stalker movie by Tarkovsky of 1979.
