The Marklin-authored brochure that accompanies this locomotive includes the following information about the prototype:

DRG - Diesel Hydraulic Locomotive V 3201

In 1924 the DR planned to produce a Diesel loco with a pneumatic transmission system.  Under the guidance of the DR a prototype was built by Maschinenfabrik Esslingen and MAN, which was similar in construction and power rating to the BR 78 steam locomotives.  A special 2-cylinder compressor was driven by a 6-cylinder MAN Diesel motor with transmission and valve gear similar to that of steam engines.  Compressed air heated to 350º Centigrade was fed into the cylinders.  From 1929 this locomotive was used in the Stuttgart area for several years

See below for a photo of Märklin's model of the BR 78
