Despite appearances, the Austrian class 1082, of which one was built in 1931, was fully electric. Three traction motors powered five axles via siderods.

A rotary converter allowed the traction motors to be fed with steplessly-variable voltage. It needed much maintenance, and it wasn't until the 1980s and the introduction of high-power semiconductors that the ideas behind it became practical.

Polish diesel switcher type 6D built by Fablok in 1974.

Converted to electric and remote controlled (note cab windows welded over with metal plates, and pantographs installed on long hood), working as a pusher in a steel mill.

>>5848 – The tanks might be air tanks. The engine brake was an airbrake while the train brake was a vacuum brake.

The closest I can find on Wikipedia's list is the WCP-1. The IRFCA list did not yield a more steamer-looking match.
