BR210 
H0
In 1970 the German DB built eight four axle diesel locomotives class 210 for heavy passenger service. The locos base on famous dieselhydraulic V160 series and reach a maximum speed of 160 km/h. The 210 had a MTU MA 12 V 956 TB 10 traction diesel motor and a separately shifted Avco Lycoming licensed gas turbine T 53-L 13. After two heavy defectives DB decided in 1978 to dismount the gas turbines. Till 2006 the locos were used as standard 218 and with the numbers 218 901-908.
2 Zylinder Länderbahn H0
Two-cylinder locomotives were considered easier to drive and relatively undemanding compared to three- or four-cylinder locomotives. With the nationalization of the numerous privately financed railways in the 1880s, Prussia favored such locomotives because they could be repaired "in an East Prussian cowshed if necessary." It's no wonder, then, that two-cylinder locomotives accounted by far the largest production numbers. The G8.1 freight locomotive (BR 55.25-56), almost 5,000 of which were more…
Universal 2 Zylinder H0
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…
BR120DR /V200DR/Taigatrommel H0
For heavy freight service East German Deutsche Reichsbahn DR ordered 378 samples of diesel electric locos V200 (later BR 120, from 1990 on classified as BR 220). The 14D40 2-stroke prime mover develops 1471 kW at 750 rpm. Maximum speed was 100 km/h. As the locos were very loud people nick-named them Taigadrum.

Universal 3 Zylinder H0
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…
61 002 Stromlinien-Tenderlok H0
In 1939, the Deutsche Reichsbahn-Gesellschaft DRG purchased the streamlined 62 002 for the Henschel-Wegmann train. The three-cylinder locomotive produced 1450 hp and reached 175 km/h. It differs from its sister locomotive 61 001, built four years earlier, for example in its three-axle bogie below the coal box and its three-cylinder engine. After the Second World War, the one-off remained with the DR and was used until 1958. The DR used parts of its chassis and engine to build the 18 201 for the more…
ET423 S-Bahn DB AG, IGBT H0
As successors to the ET423 S-Bahn multiple units, DB AG procured a total of 462 four-car electric multiple units of the 423 series starting in 1998. Unlike their predecessors, which had two bogies per car, the 423 cars were supported by a Jakobs bogie at the transitions. The 2350 kW four-car units reached speeds of 140 km/h. The first 190 units were equipped with GTO converters, which were housed in a separate container under the vehicle floor. The 423s are used in the Rhine-Main, Cologne, more…

BR 58.30 DR Umbaulok H0
With the five-coupled G12, the Prussian KPEV developed the first largely standardized steam locomotive series. These three-cylinder locomotives delivered 1540 HP and reached a maximum speed of 65 km/h and were delivered from 1917 onwards. After the Second World War, the majority of the locomotives, now designated Class 58.2-21, remained in what would later become the GDR. Since most of the more modern standard freight locomotives remained in the western occupation zones, the DR decided to more…
BR 78 / pr. T18 H0
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. SoundCV9 (CV163): train driver's dialogue (different languages selectable with value 0-1)
