BR 41 Öl  LokSound 5 European Sound files N XL L M4

In the early 1950s German Deutsche Bundesbahn DB decided to replace worn out boilers of Class 41 steam locomotives with new ones. The 40 locos with oil firing developed 1975 HP and reached a maximum speed of 90 km/h. The 41s werde used for fast freight and heavy passenger service.

BR 44 Oel  LokSound 5 European Sound files N XL L M4

BR 44 had been the most successful steam loco for heavy freight trains at the Deutsche Reichsbahn-Gesellschaft (DRG). Between 1926 an end of WWII 1989 units of the 3 cylindred 2-10 had been built. They developed 1919 HP and reached a maximum speed of 80 km/h. In the 1950s Deutsche Bundesbahn (DB) and Deutsche Reichsbahn (DR) rebuilt 36 (DB) and 95 (DR) with oil firing equipment.

140-C ÉTAT SNCF  LokSound 5 European Sound files N XL L M4

Between 1913 and 1917 the French state railway company ÉTAT purchased 340 copies of the 1’D 140 C steam locomotive. After the beginning of the First World War, production was outsourced to British manufacturers. A third series of 70 machines was ordered for the transport of French artillery trains and after the War sold in equal parts to the French Eastern Railway EST and the PLM. The locomotives intended for freight train service developed 1210 hp and achieved an impressive 70 km/h for a more…

BR43 Einheitslok DRG DR  LokSound 5 European Sound files N XL L M4

In order to determine the suitability of the different drives for heavy freight service, the German Deutsche Reichsbahn-Gesellschaft DRG included five-coupled tender locomotives with two and three cylinders in its standard locomotive program. In 1927, ten of each type were initially built. A further 35 of the 43 with two cylinders followed in 1928. In comparison, the two-cylinder locomotive proved to be equal to the three-cylinder locomotive known as the 44 series up to the medium power range more…

BR 98.8 Bayr. GtL 4/4  LokSound 5 European Sound files N XL L M4

From 1911 onwards, Krauss delivered 117 examples of the GtL 4/4 two-cylinder local railway locomotive in several series to the Bavarian State Railways. The Deutsche Reichsbahn-Gesellschaft DRG received the last 17 in 1927 and grouped them as the 98.8 series. With an output of 450 hp, the four-couplers were the most powerful Bavarian local railway machines. The DRG only considered the top speed of 40 km/h to be in need of improvement and equipped the most recently delivered locomotives with a more…

BR98.10 ex. GtL 4/5 DRG  LokSound 5 European Sound files N XL L M4

Between 1929 and 1932, Krauss delivered 45 samples of the type 98.10 two-cylinder local railway locomotive to Deutsche Reichsbahn-Gesellschaft DRG on behalf of the Bavarian group administration. The locomotives, which largely corresponded technically to the 98.8 (GtL 4/4) delivered from 1923 onwards, were given a trailing axle to increase the top speed and improve the driving characteristics. With an output of 450 hp, the four-couplers were the most powerful Bavarian local railway machines. more…

BR38.4 ex bay. P3/5 H  LokSound 5 European Sound files N XL L M4

The Bavarian P3/5 H (later BR 38.4) from 1921 is considered a successful design, but with only 80 units built, it was not nearly as widespread as its Prussian counterpart, the P8. Manufacturer J.A. Maffei took over the four-cylinder engine from its predecessor, the P3/5 N, but designed the three-coupler as a superheated steam locomotive. In combination with the wheel diameter of 1640 mm, the 1200 hp locomotive, later known as the BR 38.4, reached a top speed of 90 km/h. Due to its impressive more…

RhB G 4/5  LokSound 5 European Sound files N XL L M4

In the early 1900s narrow gauge railway RhB of Switzerland needed stronger locos. Swiss locomotive manufacturer SLM Winterthur built 29 samples of 2-4-0 locos G 4/5. The locos deliver 800 HP and reach a maximum speed of 45 km/h. After electrification of the whole rail net RhB sold or scrapped the locos except for two samples that rest in Switzerland for snow clearance duty or for railfan trains.

BR94.5 pr.T16.1  LokSound 5 European Sound files N XL L M4

Prussian T16.1 had been one of the most important steam locomotives for short freight and heavy switching duty. The two cylinder loco delivered 1070 HP and reached a maximum speed of 60 km/h.
