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…
BR50.35-Reko-DR Kohle 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…
BR01-DRG-DB-DR H0
The 01 series was the first locomotive in the standard locomotive program of the German Reichsbahn-Gesellschaft DRG. 231 samples were put into service between 1925 and 1937. The 2240 hp two-cylinder locomotive reached 120 km/h with 800 mm wheelsets in the front bogie, and 130 km/h with the 1000 mm wheels installed from locomotive number 01 102. The 01 were indispensable in express train service on both German state railways, which is why the DB 50 and the DR 35 locomotives were modernized and, more…
BR05 003 DRG H0
In contrast to the 05 001 and 002, which were equipped with hard coal firing, the third locomotive of the series was ordered from Borsig in 1937 with a front driver's cab for a better view of the track. This involved coupling the locomotive with the smokebox end to the tender and equipping it with a coal dust firing system of the AEG type. The tests with the locomotive were less than satisfactory and so the DRG converted the machine into a conventional steam locomotive with hard coal firing and more…
BR05 Einheitslok DRB DB H0
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…
BR18.3 Bad. IVh H0
The Ivh of Badische Staatsbahn, later the 18³ series, was purchased from 1918 as an express steam locomotive primarily for the Rhine Valley Railway Basel - Mannheim. The manufacturer of all 20 machines was the renowned Munich locomotive factory J.A. Maffei. The IVh was designed as a 4-cylinder composite engine. The balanced drive made her a fast cross-country skier and the top speed could be increased from the original 110 km/h to 140 km/h. The use of the 18.3 on the famous Rheingold Express more…
BR18.4 / BR18.5 Bayr. S3/6 H0
In 1908 the locomotive factory J.A. Maffei was commissioned by the Royal Bavarian State Railway to develop a new express locomotive based on the IVf delivered to the Baden State Railway. The series a-c and f-i with 1870 mm high driving wheels were designated as series 18.4 by the Deutsche Reichsbahn-Gesellschaft DRG, as were the series d and e equipped with 2000 mm driving wheels. The four-cylinder compound locomotives produced 1,770 hp and reached 120 km/h with very good driving more…
BR 95 DRG/DR/DB pr.T20 H0
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.

V180 DR / BR118 BR228 DB H0
To replace medium-duty steam locomotive series in passenger and freight train service, the Deutsche Reichsbahn DR developed the twin-engine V180 series with diesel-hydraulic drive in the late 1950s. The four-axle vehicles, initially equipped with two 900 hp twelve-cylinder Type 12 KVD 21 A diesel engines, reached a top speed of 120 km/h. The locomotives delivered from 1965 received the second expansion stage of the diesel engine. This also applied to the six-axle versions, which were heavier 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.
