BR 80  LokSound 5 European Sound files N XL L M4

In order to replace uneconomical old worn out locomotives in shunting service, the Deutsche Reichsbahn-Gesellschaft DRG also included a shunting locomotive with an axle load of 18 t in the Einheitslok program. From 1928 the DRG put 39 copies of the 575 hp three-coupler into service. After the Second World War, 21 machines remained with the DR and 17 locomotives with the DB. Despite convincing operating characteristics, the DB stopped its 80 until 1965, as the new V60s were available in more…

In 1939, Schwartzkopff delivered the model locomotive and the 55 series locomotives for the heavy express train service. The German Reichsbahn-Gesellschaft canceled the further orders because of the start of the war. The 2,120 hp three-cylinder locomotives all had streamlined cladding, which was partially dismantled during the course of the Second World War to simplify maintenance and due to lack of necessity. All 55 locomotives survived the war, but massive damage to the boilers soon became more…

BR 52 Kondenstender DRB  LokSound 5 European Sound files N XL L M4

From 1942 the class 52 was derived from the light but powerful class 50 goods train tender locomotive developed from 1937 and mass-produced from 1939. Despite numerous simplifications, the war locomotive with 1640 hp had the same performance as the 50 and also reached 80 km/h when driving forwards. Initially, smoke deflectors were also dispensed with, but after a short time smaller Witte plates were retrofitted compared to the 50. So that the locomotives could withstand the winter in the more…

BR06 Einheitslok DRG  LokSound 5 European Sound files N XL L M4

In order to be able to pull express trains more quickly in the hill country, the Deutsche Reichsbahn-Gesellschaft DRG was already planning the 06, which was equipped with four coupling axles, parallel to the commissioning of the first 05. The 06, which was also designed with three cylinders, had an output of 2,800 hp and reached a top speed of 140 km/h. According to contemporary reports, the tractive power of both locomotives delivered in 1939 was impressive, but damage to the boiler frequently more…

In 1935, Borsig developed the 2'C2' engines 05 001 and 002, which were equipped with streamlined cladding, for the Deutsche Reichsbahn-Gesellschaft (DRG) to pull light express trains at speeds of over 140 km/h. A third locomotive was given an enclosed driver's cab and was coupled to the tender at the smokebox end. The three-cylinder engine developed 2360 hp and accelerated the racers to 175 km/h. During test runs, 05 002 reached 200.4 km/h with a 197-ton test train, making it the fastest German more…

The Einheitslok program of the Deutsche Reichsbahn-Gesellschaft DRG provided for the triple-coupled class 24 steam locomotive for light passenger train service over longer distances. A total of 95 examples of the 920 hp two-cylinder locomotive with a top speed of 90 km/h were procured from 1926. With an axle load of only 15 t, the 24 was initially used on main and branch lines in West and East Prussia, which earned it the nickname "Steppe horse". The DB shut down the last locomotive in 1966, more…

BR 78 / pr. T18  LokSound 5 European Sound files N XL L M4

In 1912 Prussian State Railway ordered the first of 462 samples of the 4-6-4 saddle tank loco T18. The two-cylinder loco developed 1140 HP and reached a maximum speed of 100 km/h. The locos were used for passenger trains on main and branch lines and stayed in service until 1974.

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 41 Kohle  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 coal firing developed 1940 HP and reached a maximum speed of 90 km/h. The 41s werde used for fast freight and heavy passenger service.
