ET65 DR / BR465 DB  LokSound 5 European Sound files N XL L M4

For suburban traffic in Stuttgart, the Deutsche Reichsbahn-Gesellschaft DRG initially purchased 21 units of the ET65 electric multiple unit from 1933. The four-axle vehicles with a top speed of 85 km/h initially drove as firmly coupled to the control car. Due to the increased space requirement, the sets in the middle of the train were supplemented by non-powered double wagons. Another, technically unchanged series of 23 powered rail cars and control cars followed in 1938. In the 1960s, the DB more…

BR65.10  LokSound 5 European Sound files N XL L M4

The new locomotive program of the Deutsche Reichsbahn DR after WW II contained a tank locomotive with a drive wheel diameter of 1,600 mm and a top speed of 90 km/h. The 88 1'D2 'tank locomotives designed for commuter train service had an axle load of 18 t. The well-dimensioned boiler and the carefully developed engine provided practical pulling power and good acceleration. Since the DR converted various branch lines to an axle load of 20 t, various 65.10 were equipped with a compressed air bell more…

BR265  LokSound 5 European Sound files N XL L M4

For heavy switching and freight service German State Railway DB ordered 31 samples of diesel hydraulic Voith-Gravita® loco. Prime mover MTU 12V 4000 R43L delivers 1800 kW at 1800 rpm and enables the loco to reach a maximum speed of 100 km/h. Also loco rental service Northrail and HzL in Southern Germany bought two samples each.

BR93 pr. T14  LokSound 5 European Sound files N XL L M4

In 1914, the Prussian state railway KPEV ordered the first four-coupled T14 tank locomotive for heavy passenger and freight trains in local areas from Union in Königsberg. The 1000 hp four-coupler, equipped with a leading and trailing axle, was approved for 65 km/h. Although the locomotives suffered, for example, from the unequal load distribution on the drive axles, the railway company still purchased 547 units by 1918. More than 100 of these had to be handed over as reparations after the more…

BR 58 / pr. G12  LokSound 5 European Sound files N XL L M4

With the five-way coupled G12, the Prussian KPEV developed the first largely standardized steam locomotive series. The 1540 hp and 65 km/h three-cylinder locomotives were delivered from 1917. Because of its good operating characteristics, the Baden (98 units), Saxon (42) and Württemberg state railways (43) also procured the G12. After the Second World War, the majority of the machines, now designated as BR 58.2-21, remained in what was later to become the GDR. The fact that the locomotives had more…

T9.3 pr. BR 91.3-18, 91.20  LokSound 5 European Sound files N XL L M4

In the 1890s, the Prussian state railway KPEV purchased two differently designed tank locomotives for mixed passenger and freight service. The experience gained with the two types, grouped together under the T9 series designation, resulted in the design of the 1’C locomotive T9.3 in 1900. More than 2,200 of the 440 hp two-cylinder wet steam locomotive were purchased. The frugal 65 km/h locomotive was satisfactory for branch line passenger and freight trains, but was also suitable for more…

BR 95 DRG/DR/DB pr.T20  LokSound 5 European Sound files N XL L M4

For service on steep grades prussian state railway (KPEV) ordered 45 samples of 2-10-2 steam locos T20. Successor DRG re-numbered them for 95.0. The locos delivered 1620 HP and reach a maximum speed of 65 km/h. The powerful locos were used for short line passenger and freight service. After WW II 14 locos were used by DB till 1958. DR rebuilt 24 samples with oil firing equipment and used them till 1981.

BR 58.30 DR Umbaulok  LokSound 5 European Sound files N XL L M4

With the five-coupled G12, the Prussian KPEV developed the first largely standardized steam locomotive series. These three-cylinder locomotives delivered 1540 HP and reached a maximum speed of 65 km/h and were delivered from 1917 onwards. After the Second World War, the majority of the locomotives, now designated Class 58.2-21, remained in what would later become the GDR. Since most of the more modern standard freight locomotives remained in the western occupation zones, the DR decided to more…
