A collage from Finnish diesel locomotive Dv12, oldest of this series are now 45 years old, being built in 1960's (2500-series) and now, big part of 2500-series have been rebuilt, still having a active service time of 20-30 years in future. The last of these locomotives is built at 1984, the 2664. Series are 2501-2568 (1963-1966), 2701-2760 (1965-1972), 2601-2664 (1974-1984). For some reason 2700-series was built before 2600-series. Currently all are still in service, although there have been very bad accidents with some of those, all of them have been fixed up. Total number of locomotives: 192. Manufactured in Finland, even numbers (eg. 2502) are manufactured by Valmet Oy, and odd numbers (eg.2501) are manufactured by Lokomo Oy. Except 2600-series is all Valmet-built. The main engine is Tampella-license built SACM MGO V16 BHSR (4-stroke). It has maximum power of 1000kW/1360 HP. The compressor engine is Valmet/Sisu 320D. The transmission is
Voith L216 rs, fully hydraulic. It has two main gears, T-gear for freight trains, top speed 85 km/h, and M-gear for passenger trains, top speed 125 km/h. All eight wheels are tractive (B'B). Transmission from gearbox to wheels is by cardan shaft.

  • Mites on, onko tulossa Sr2 tämmösiä? Vai liikkuuko Iisalmen alueella paljon junia missä veturina on Sr2 ?

  • Hyvin hyvin vähän. Ainoastaan venäläisissä tilausjunissa tällä hetkellä, tai sitten poikkeustapauksissa.

  • You have wider track gauge in finland, right?

  • Yes, 1524 millimetres. It is classified as wide gauge track. "Normal" gauge track is 1435 mm.

  • Minun tietojeni mukaan "parillinen" on englanniksi "even number" ja "pariton" "odd number". En ainakaan ole koskaan kuullut tuollaisia termejä kuin paired ja unpaired.

  • Ajattelin että paired ja unpaired kuulostaisivat paremmalta mutta korjaanpa nyt.

  • Hyvä video, ei voi olla tykkäämättä.

  • Awesome! :D Mahtava, kiitos hienosta videosta! ;)

    Meillä on esitetty henkilöliikennettä aloitettavaksi Dv12-dieselveturilla ja VR:n vanhoilla sinisillä vaunuilla, en tiedä tilannetta. Radalla joka suljettiin henkilöliikenteeltä 1988 huonon kunnon vuoksi olisi mahdollista aloittaa taas, erityisesti nyt kun rata kunnostettiin äskettäin puut vaihdettiin betonipilareihin. :)

  • Nice Loks ! Super Video ! Greetings from Germany !

  • Nii ja 1 2500:en.. :)

  • Sääli että osa 2700-sarjalaisia on nyt hylätty :(
