61 001 Stromlinien-Tenderlok 
H0
In 1935, the Deutsche Reichsbahn-Gesellschaft DRG acquired the streamlined 61 001 to haul the famous Henschel-Wegmann train. The two-cylinder locomotive had an output of 1450 hp and reached a speed of 175 km/h. After the Second World War, the one-off remained with the DB, which used it to pull express trains after dismantling the engine cover before it suffered damage in 1951. As the DB no longer wanted to finance repairs to the locomotive, the machine was taken out of service in 1952, but was more…
BR 01.5 Rekolok DR H0
After the Second World War, the Deutsche Reichsbahn DR had 65 Class 01 locomotives. At the end of the 1950s, the DR included the indispensable 01 in its reconstruction program and from 1961 onwards equipped a total of 35 machines with new boilers, new pumps and, for the most part, new cylinders. By 1966, the majority of the 2240 hp, 130 km/h 01.5s had also been fitted with oil main firing, which made the powerful and reliable three-coupler very popular with the staff. It was only after the more…
GWR Class 41xx H0
From 1908, the British Great Western Railway GWR purchased several series of a steam locomotive type generally known as the Large Prairie (wheel arrangement 2-6-2T). The last series were the 4100-4179, built between 1934 and 1949. The three-coupled locomotives, which were equally fast forwards and backwards, were primarily used on suburban trains, but also proved their worth on light freight trains. The last of the 1039 hp, 75 mph two-cylinder superheated steam locomotives were retired by 1965, more…
BR62 DRG/DB/DR H0
The class 62 express tank locomotive was part of the standard locomotive program of the German Reichsbahn-Gesellschaft (DRG). The 1,680 hp two-cylinder locomotive was designed for service on short main routes where the idea was to avoid turning the locomotives in the terminal stations in favor of short turnaround times. The drive wheel diameter of 1750 mm was a good compromise for good acceleration and a top speed of 100 km/h. During the DRG era, the 15 locomotives proved their worth, for more…
Kittel Dampftriebwagen H0
In the early 1900s, several state and private railways attempted to reduce operating costs by using steam railcars on lightly used routes. The design of one of the most successful types was penned by Eugen Kittel. At one end of the vehicle was the standing boiler integrated into the driver's cab, the equipment required to operate it, the coal box and a seat for the conductor. A stoker with control authorization was allowed to drive the steam railcar. At this time, the conductor was in the more…
BR Class 56 H0
Between 1976 and 1984, British Rail had 135 examples of the six-axle class 56 freight locomotive built. The final production of the first 30 of the series created according to BR plans was carried out with sub-assemblies in Romania at Electroputere. The following locomotives were assembled in England. The 16-cylinder Ruston-Paxman 16RK3CT diesel engine produced 2625 kW and generated the power for the six traction motors. In favor of reliability, the power was reduced to 2420 kW at 900 rpm. The more…
BR Class 14 H0
From 1964, British Rail (BR) purchased a total of 56 diesel-hydraulic Class 14s to transport light trains between marshalling yards and industrial areas. The Paxman six-cylinder engine, which was set to produce 650 hp at 1500 rpm, transmitted its power to the three axles via a jackshaft and coupling rods. The maximum speed limit of 40 km/h was beneficial for traction, but was hardly sufficient for long-distance travel. For this reason, the BR began selling its Class 14s to industrial companies more…
BR 96 bay. Gt 2x 4/4 H0
From 1913 onwards, the Bavarian State Railway purchased a total of 15 samples of the Gt 2x 4/4 Mallet tank locomotive to push heavy freight trains on the steep routes in the Franconian Forest and Thuringian Forest. Although the 1,470 hp eight-axle locomotives were considered the most powerful tank locomotives in Europe at the time, manufacturer Maffei was able to limit the maximum axle load to 15.5 t, which is why the powerful locomotives could even be used on branch lines. With various more…
DR V100 H0
The dieselhydraulic V100 (1968 BR 110 – 115, ab 1992 BR 201 – 204, 293) had been developed by VEB Lokomotivbau „Karl Marx“ for GDR state railway DR for multi purpose service on main and branch lines. The traction motors delivered 1000 HP at 1500 rpm and enabled the loco to reach a maximum speed of 100 km/h. The turbocharged engine 12 KVD 21 SVW is similar to the motor of V180/V100.

BR50.35-Reko-DR Oel H0
In the mid-1950s, the boilers of the BR50 standard locomotives of the Deutsche Reichsbahn DR had reached the end of their service life due to the use in heavy freight traffic. Since the DR was unable to obtain replacements for its 50s, which were universally applicable with an axle load of just 15 t, in the foreseeable future, it was decided to reconstruct many locomotives with a boiler largely equivalent to that of the new BR 23 locomotive. From 1957, the DR reconstructed a total of 208 more…
