The first Soviet mass-produced diesel locomotive, TE3, was powered by a 1470 kW (2000 hp) 2D100 engine, direct descendant of the marine 38 8-1/8 engine. The TE3 was produced in high numbers (up to 7600 units), and proved to be a reliable mainline freight locomotive. Later this engine evolved to the turbocharged 10D100, rated at 2200 kW (3000 hp).
Since the success of the diesel high speed trains like the Flying Hamburger in the middle of the 1930s, the German locomotive industry turned to faster steam locomotives. After speed tests with a streamlined DRG Class 03 the Borsig locomotive factories [i] produced three engines: 05 001 as streamlined in 1935

The ALCO 300 was an early diesel–electric switcher locomotive built by the American Locomotive Company (ALCO) of Schenectady, New York between 1931 and 1938. Following purchase of the engine manufacturer McIntosh & Seymour in 1929, ALCO built a 300 horsepower (220 kW) box cab locomotive. This was the #300, an ALCO demonstrator.
These included the LNER Class Y11 petrol locomotives, the diesel shunters which later became British Rail Class D3/9 and British Rail Class D3/14 and the Kitson-Still steam diesel hybrid locomotive. During the 1930s, Armstrong Whitworth supplied an experimental 1-Co-1 diesel-electric locomotive [2] and several diesel-electric railcars. [3]
