BR01.10 Oel 
H0
In 1939, Schwartzkopff delivered the pre-series sample and the 55 series locomotives for the heavy express train service. The German Reichsbahn-Gesellschaft canceled the further orders because of the start of the war. All 55 three-cylinder locomotives survived the war, but massive damage to the boilers soon became apparent, which is why the Deutsche Bundesbahn DB fitted the locomotives with new boilers from 1953 onwards. Despite the BR V200 diesel locomotives having been working in the same 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…
BR03.10 DB Neubaukessel H0
In the early days of the Deutsche Bundesbahn DB, the 03.10, which had been freed from the streamlining, were heavily used in express train service, which revealed the boiler's weaknesses. In order to remedy these deficiencies, the DB equipped a total of 25 units with new replacement boilers from 1957, which had proven themselves in the 41 series. With an output of 1870 hp and a top speed of 140 km/h, the locomotives from Hagen mainly pulled express trains. Since the locomotives were very more…
BR03.10 DR Rekolok H0
In 1959 German DR equipped 16 samples of three-cylinder steam loco 03.10 with new boilers similar to classes 22 and 41. The so-called Reko-03.10 developed 2350 HP and reached a maximum speed of 140 km/h. After receiving oil firing equipment the performance improved again, so the Reko 03.10 stayed in service till 1980. British railfans nick-named museum loco 03 1010 the “roaring monster”.
BR03.10 DRG/DB/DR Einh. Loks H0
In order to have greater speed reserves when pulling express trains in the 1930s, the Deutsche Reichsbahn-Gesellschaft DRG had the 03.10 developed with streamlined cladding. The acoustics of the 03.10 differ significantly from the two-cylinder standard locomotives of the class 03 with their three-cylinder engine. 45 copies of the 140 km/h fast racer survived World War II. Some of the locomotives were given new replacement boilers, the ones that had not been converted were eliminated until 1957.
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…
BR06 Einheitslok DRG H0
In order to be able to pull express trains more quickly in the hill country, the Deutsche Reichsbahn-Gesellschaft DRG was already planning the 06, which was equipped with four coupling axles, parallel to the commissioning of the first 05. The 06, which was also designed with three cylinders, had an output of 2,800 hp and reached a top speed of 140 km/h. According to contemporary reports, the tractive power of both locomotives delivered in 1939 was impressive, but damage to the boiler frequently 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…
