Indexed by Moderator Hello Everyone I would like to showcase my latest addition to the LBB fleet the Tm 2/2 class shunting locomotive, this compact modern design has been purchased by the LBB as part of a modernization plan which will improve the efficiency of the LBB network and provide a greater movement of freight through more frequent and faster services. The Tm 2/2 will take over the running of trip freight and branchline freight services that had ben previously taken care of by the venerable Tm 3/3 class shunters, they will also be used for some of the more heavier shunting duties which will allow for the redeployment of the Tm 3/3 locomotives to lighter duties which will help lengthen the lifespan of those 40+ year old locomotives. The Tm 2/2 are slightly shorter than the Tm 3/3 and have only 2 axles compared to the older locos 3 axles, the performance of the Tm 2/2 is however vastly superior compared to their predecessors with a top speed of 70km/h and a rating of 350hp these small locomotives are highly capable units that can perform a wide variety of tasks. This MOC was inspired by a wide variety of small modern shunter designs from manufacturers such as Schoma, Stadler and Vossloh, they include the SBB Tm 232.1, Mak G 400 and RhB Tm 2/2.
