T9.3 pr. BR 91.3-18, 91.20 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…

Universal 2 Zylinder N XL L M4

Two-cylinder locomotives were considered easier to drive and relatively undemanding compared to three- or four-cylinder locomotives. Huge numbers of the standard freight train class 50 and the war locomotive 52, which was developed from it, were built, with more than 3,000 and more than 6,200 examples, respectively, running in almost all neighboring countries. It is therefore no surprise that the most-produced tank locomotives, by far the most produced, were the class 64 (520 units) and 86 (774 more…

Universal 3 Zylinder N XL L M4


The first German three-cylinder steam locomotive to be built in large numbers was the Prussian S10.2 (BR 17) in 1914. Among the reasons given were its lower weight compared to the four-cylinder S10.1 and its favorable starting characteristics. The latter also played a role in the choice of a three-cylinder drive for the Prussian P10 (BR 39) passenger locomotive and the G12 (BR 58) freight locomotive. A disadvantage compared to the two-cylinder locomotives was the more difficult maintenance due more…

In 1904, the Federal Council of the German Empire enacted the first railway construction and operating regulations, which permitted express trains with 44 axles if the train consisted of four-axle carriages; 52 axles were permitted when using six-axle carriages. At the same time, more direct connections were created through the operation of through coaches. The basic speed of express trains was to increase from 85 to 90 km/h. Since even new two-cylinder express train locomotives were reaching more…

Universal Schmalspur N XL L M4

Most narrow-gauge railways were built and, at least initially, operated by private companies. The state railways usually coded the track gauge in the class designation, and sometimes also the wheel arrangement. The operating number was generally assigned consecutively. With the integration of many railways into the Deutsche Reichsbahn-Gesellschaft (DRG), the class designations, which consisted of letters and numbers (e.g., Tssd, IV k, or Gts 2x 3/3), were standardized and only numbers were more…

V 60 N XL L M4



Zu Beginn der 1950er-Jahre musste die junge Deutsche Bundesbahn (DB) ihre Lokomotivflotte erneuern. Neben Streckenloks kamen auch Rangierloks auf die Reißbretter. Für den leichten Rangierdienst gab es etwa 500 Exemplare der Kleinloks der Typen Kö/Köf. Die modernsten, speziell für den leichten und mittelschweren Verschiebedienst beschafften Einheits-Dampflok-Baureihen BR 80 und 81 waren nur in einer bescheidenen Stückzahl von zusammen 27 Exemplaren vorhanden. Den schweren Rangierdienst more…
