T9.3 pr. BR 91.3-18, 91.20 
H0
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…
BR76 pr. T10-KPEV-DRG H0
To speed up express trains on the relatively short 41 km route between Frankfurt and Wiesbaden, the Prussian state railway KPEV had a new, powerful tank locomotive developed. The engineer responsible, Robert Garbe, decided to marry the slightly shortened chassis of the P8 (later BR 38.10-40) with the boiler of the P6 (BR 37.0-1) and thus created the T10. The twelve samples of the 880 hp, 100 km/h two-cylinder locomotive proved to be up to the task and were in service with the KPEV and DRG for more…
BR39 DB DR / Pr. P10 KPEV H0
For the heavy express train service in the hill country, the Prussian KPEV had a four-coupled three-cylinder locomotive developed instead of replicating the proven Saxon XX HV with four cylinders. Borsig's design was then implemented, although the required maximum axle load of 17 t was exceeded by almost 2 t, meaning the locomotive could only be used on a few routes. With its output of 1,620 hp, it reached a top speed of 110 km/h. When most of the main routes were upgraded for an axle load of more…
BR 98.8 Bayr. GtL 4/4 H0
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…
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…
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…
