operational. In 1999 at least one damaged locomotive was still extant at Al Hufuf (220 021), along with one complete locomotive (220 046) which was cut up in 2002. Italy Between 1982 and 1990, thirteen V 200.0s were sold to various private railway operators in Italy. These were: Ferrovia Suzzara-Ferrara (FSF) – Three locomotives in 1982; Cosfer, an infrastructure maintenance contractor, – One locomotive in 1982 and three in 1984; Ferrovie Padane (FP) – Two locomotives in 1984; Impresa Veltri, an infrastructure maintenance contractor, – One locomotive in 1984; IPE Locomotori, a locomotive handler, – One locomotive in 1985 which was scrapped in 1987; Impresa Valditerra, infrastructure maintenance contractor, – One locomotive in 1986; Ferrovie Nord Brescia (FNB) – One locomotive in 1990. (then sold to FSF) In 2000 FSF and FP were merged into a larger company, Ferrovie Emilia-Romagna (FER). In 2003 FER acquired three more V 200.0s from the various track maintenance contractors based in Italy. Between 2001 and 2005, all of the FER V 200.0 locomotives underwent refurbishment in Zagreb which included replacement of the existing Maybach or Mercedes engines with Caterpillar D3508 V8 engines, capable of 810 kW, and modern digital engine control systems in place of the original Brown-Boveri electro-mechanical control system. All the FER locomotives are fitted with the Voith L306r transmission. The locomotives were painted in a rather garish Italian tri-colour (green-white-red) livery. Greece After end-of-service with DB in 1988, 20 V200 locomotives were sold to Greece. During the 1990s, they were then decommissioned one by one and left to rust and rot, until 2002 when all 20 were bought by Prignitzer Eisenbahn GmbH. A total of 11 were restored to their former glory, and subsequently used for cargo, and in repair and maintenance operations. Spain In 1988 one of the Cosfer (Italian) locomotives was transported to Spain to work on the construction of the RENFE AVE lines. This locomotive was still operational in Spain during 2018. France In 1985 and 1986 the French infrastructure maintenance company DEHE-Montcocol purchased four V 200.0 for use on construction and maintenance works in France and Belgium. These locomotives were overhauled at the DB works in Nuremberg. In 1987 they were shipped to Algeria to work on a new standard gauge railway construction project. In 1991 the locomotives returned to France to work on new TGV lines. All were scrapped in France between 1997 and 1999. Switzerland
