DB 602 003-6, built 1957 by MAN as VT 11 5012, rebuilt 1974 with gas turbine, active until 1978. Installing a gas turbine in four power units allowed to almost double the power from 810 to 1617 kW. The AVCO-Lycoming TF35 gas turbine is otherwise used for helicopters. From 1975 trains with one diesel (601) and one gas turbine power car (602) were operating, but operation was uneconomic and with technical problems, so in 1978 all four gas turbine power cars were taken out of service and only one preserved.
