The Baldwin 0-6-6-0-1000/1DE is a cab unit diesel-electric locomotive built by Baldwin Locomotive Works in 1945. The 0-6-6-0-1000/1DEs were powered by an eight-cylinder diesel engine rated at 1,000 horsepower (746 kW), and rode on a pair of three-axle trucks in a C-C wheel arrangement. 30 of these models were built for Soviet Railways, today Russian Railways, as Class Д^б (Class Db).

None survived to preservation, however the cab of one of the locomotives is known to have survived as a shed, and a bogie is known to have been used underneath a fuel tanker.
