In 1953, Arnold Jung Lokomotivfabrik delivered 15 three-axle diesel shunters to the Egyptian Republic Railways. They were directly based on the Wehrmacht Locomotive WR 360 C, also known as V 36. Now called R 361 C, what stood for “Rangierlok” (shunter), 360 hp and three axles, with the number one denoting that it was the next generation. They still looked very similar to the V 36, with a cab on one end, a full-height hood and coupling rods.
In 1955 and 1956, Jung delivered 27 more of a revised design with larger radiators, internally called R 362 C. While the first 15 had got the number 4211 to 4225, these got the numbers 4226 to 4252. During the Suez Crisis, No. 4239 was captured by the Israelis on the Sinai and brought to Israel. In service with Israel Railways, it was nicknamed “Abdel Nasser” and scrapped in 1970, the year when the sponsor of its name died.
