From the middle of the 1950s, the German Federal Railway procured a total of 942 series V 60/V 60.1 locomotives for light and heavy-duty shunting services. The difference between the V 60 (260) and V 60.1 (261) series is the higher friction load of the class 261. During the course of remotorisation with Caterpillar engines from the middle of the 1990s, some engines were renamed class 363. After retirement, many of them were sold to private and factory railways both at home and abroad.
