Tricky question - I'm wondering if there's something of an over-reliance on electric power? The last diesel loco DB developed (I think - not 100% sure) was the old Br. 218 - a great loco but they're aging now. Since then we've seen multi-voltage electrics of several types but no big new diesel orders. Locos like the Siemens Eurorunner are now coming into production but I'd also wonder if they're more expensive than a 66? DB don't seem too inclined to add any to the fleet though they have tried assorted prototypes on the Sylt shuttle services - usually these have a pair of 218s but I've seen footage of a 66, a pair of Eurorunners, and others - think the Blue Tiger may have appeared but not 100% sure.
