First produced in 2008, the G6 is a diesel-hydraulic shunter that is diminutive in size, making it suitable for smaller freight yards with unforgiving turning radiuses, while still being capable of outputting 900 horsepower and achieving up to 80 km/h. The loco can be fitted with multiple engine types, including the Cummins QSK23-L. In practice, the G6 is a rather unique locomotive to control; master the unconventional dynamic braking, set-up the cruise control and shunt with the locos in multiple.
Around 130 of the locomotives were built. They are largely owned by private companies and used on a leasing basis, sent to operators when they are in need of some additional motive power. In Train Sim World 2, TSG’s G6 Shunter is used as a DB locomotive rented directly from the manufacturer, performing complex shunting duties on the busy Rhein-Ruhr Osten route.
