Diesel Locomotives
Hohenzollern supplied a 1,200 horsepower diesel-mechanical locomotive to the Russian State Railways in the 1920s. This had a constant-mesh gearbox with an individual electromagnetic clutch to engage each gear.
Around the same time, Russian State Railways also took delivery of a 1,200 hp diesel-electric locomotive, designed in Russia by Professor Lomonosov. There is some dispute as to whether this was also built by Hohenzollern or by Esslingen Machine Works. Ref:

And the prairie flowers lie low:—”
