FS D.255

Machine-translated from the Italian article

The D.255 group locomotives are diesel shunting locomotives with hydrodynamic transmission, with a C wheel arrangement and standard gauge. The D.255 group of shunting locomotives originated as an evolution of earlier shunting stock projects by Badoni in the mid-1980s. A first prototype, derived from the Henschel DHG 700 C locomotives, was produced by Greco in 1987; this locomotive bears the identification number 255.2101 and differs considerably from the subsequent production models.
